Prince William warned of a big mistake before taking the throne from King Charles

She weighed in on the entire issue while speaking to The Mirror and issued a grave warning to the heir.

She began by noting that while “The Royal Family might think they are above such glitzy gimmicks. That would be a mistake.”

“After all, waiting in the wings are ex-royals the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Instinctively glamourous with bundles of razzmatazz, the Californian couple have an effortless knack for combining showbiz-gloss and public do-gooding,” she even added.

In the eyes of Dr Dunlop, “There is a vacuum at the top and the problem with vacuums is that they invite all sorts of unwanted intruders. The royal machine has clearly decided that they can compensate for a depleted public presence with relentless philanthropy on ITV.”

But it’s important to remember that “the public will tolerate a bit of charitable hectoring but only if accompanied with a large dollop of fairytale glamour.”

“That fabulous 'No Time to Die' Bond premiere when Camilla and Kate waltzed out in a haze of designer sequins felt like a world away,” now.
