Prince William Aims to Modernise Royal Family's Christmas Traditions

# Prince William Set to Transform Royal Family's Christmas Tradition

### Changes Ahead for a Modern Monarchy

Prince William is poised to significantly alter a long-standing Christmas tradition within the Royal Family. Renowned for his commitment to a modern and approachable monarchy, William's plans may reshape how festive gatherings are conducted.

William’s inclination towards a more contemporary royal approach is particularly evident in his thoughts about the conventional trestle table setup, which he finds rather outdated. "While William's mind is on much bigger changes than just the trestle table, it's well known to be one of those antiquated traditions that he's never really taken to," as reported in the Daily Mail, suggests that this is part of a broader vision for the monarchy.

Notably, his relationship with family members also influences these decisions. William reportedly holds a particular fondness for Zara Tindall and disapproves of the tradition that relegates her to the rear of the queue during royal events. "William adores Zara, he would hate that the practice of leaving her to the back of a queue," said a source familiar with the situation.

By prioritising a more relaxed atmosphere at festive events, Prince William aims to reflect a Royal Family that resonates with the public and moves away from archaic conventions.
