Prince William and Princess Catherine are set to face “rebuilding the Royal Family’s integrity”, claims one PR expert. As the King’s eldest son, William is next in line to the throne, with Catherine ready to stand next to him one day as Queen.
The Royal Family are currently facing a crisis with the Firm trying to distance itself from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, especially in the wake of his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Thursday. Speaking of Catherine and William, public relations and crisis consultant Mark Borkowski has said the royal couple will be faced with the question of “how do they establish the integrity of the Royal Family?”.
As reported by the Independent, he said: “Really, what do William and Kate do? What do their generation do with the crown, with all its soft power, its affairs of state, it’s beginning to feel a little bit like a European monarchy.
“The pressure on William to communicate what the Royal Family is going to be over the next 50 years falls squarely on his shoulders.
“The heavy weight of this burden on the Royal Family’s reputation lies with William and Kate and what they’re going to do.”
After stripping Andrew of his royal titles last year and evicting him from Royal Lodge earlier this month, King Charles is said to have become increasingly concerned about the allegations regarding his brother’s connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Within hours of Andrew’s arrest earlier this week, the King released a statement in which he shared that “the law must take its course”.
In regards to Andrew, Prince William and Catherine are said to approve of the monarch’s words issued, the Press Association understands.
William was reportedly the “driving force” in the ousting of his disgraced uncle, with the pair reportedly having “never been close”.
Author Andrew Lownie said of William, “He’s much more ruthless than his father, and I think he can see the huge reputational damage that’s been done”.
