LONDON — Prince William has said “change is on my agenda” and admitted to being overwhelmed by family stress in an unusually candid interview.

William was speaking with Canadian actor and comedian Eugene Levy in Windsor for Levy’s Apple TV+ travel series, “The Reluctant Traveler.”

Asked if the monarchy would be shifting in a different direction when he becomes king, the Prince of Wales said: “I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good, and I embrace that and I enjoy that change. I don’t fear it, that’s the bit that excites me is the idea of being able to bring some change.”

William, heir to the throne currently held by King Charles, did not offer any specific changes he would be interested in making and said he did not want “overly radical change,” but said that “if you’re not careful, history can be a real weight and an anchor around you.”

“I think it’s very important that tradition stays, and tradition has a huge part in all of this,” he said in a clip from the upcoming episode. “But there’s also points where you look at tradition and go, is that still fit for purpose today? Is that still the right thing to do? Are we still doing and having the most impact we could be having?”
