Prince William and Princess Kate have been told they have “a lot of work to do” to establish themselves as Prince and Princess of Wales. James Evans, a member of the Welsh Senedd, emphasised the importance of the couple’s commitment to Welsh life and politics during a recent conversation with GB News.
Evans revealed that William and Kate are now Hiring a new private secretary assistant The new Welsh ambassador, who has made a point of focusing on Wales, explained that this role is not entirely new, having previously been held by an adviser to the former Prince of Wales, now King Charles III.
“It’s not really a new role,” Evans said. “It was a role that the previous Prince of Wales, our current King, had. He had someone in the Palace who advised him on Welsh matters, who was close to Welsh life and Welsh political affairs.”
Evans expressed optimism about the Waleses’ decision to reinstate the position, saying: “It’s very, very positive that the Waleses have decided to bring this position back because there has been some criticism that they haven’t spent enough time in Wales and they haven’t really given the position probably the credit it deserves.”
While acknowledging that the couple’s busy personal lives may have contributed to their limited involvement in Wales, Evans stressed the importance of them refocusing on their roles. “But it is very positive to see that they are now taking the role of Prince and Princess of Wales more seriously, and I hope that they will find the right person to give them the advice that they are going to need if they want to be more integral to Welsh life and also Welsh public life.”
As William and Kate continue to assume their responsibilities as Prince and Princess of Wales, the hope is that they will deepen their connection with the people and politics of Wales, ensuring that their roles are fulfilled with the care and dedication that their titles demand.
