The royal family had a transition year with King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton, here’s what you should know

The year of King Charles III‘s coronation is about to conclude, and this is the time when both the royal family and royal followers look at what has been done this 2024 in the British monarchy. If there’s a word to define what the royal family has been about this year, that word would be “transition.” Here’s a round-up of the more “modern” changes the crown has had.

First, we should look at The King’s coronation, which was noted for blending ancient rites with contemporary updates. With this, King Charles aimed to mix diverse faiths and give the public a more active role. In addition, he has been much more open to controversial topics, and has worked hard for environmental issues, the refugee crisis and the UK’s colonial past.

Then, Prince William re-shaped his role and now focuses on specific initiatives like homelessness and the Earthshot eco-prize. With his media presence, he wants to target younger audiences through different videos on social media, showcasing the behind-the-scene process of his initiatives.

Finally, we’ve got Kate Middleton, who has grown in popularity and has been noted for her international impact. She has also carved her niche with the “Shaping Us” project, which works on early child development, a passion that has been shared by numerous celebrities around the world.
