    Prince William aims to “rip up the rulebook” and let go with “old-fashioned” methods of working as he start his new role as Prince of Wales, a news report has claimed. William, 40, was bestowed with the prestigious title of Prince of Wales after his father King Charles took over the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

    The title was held by King Charles for more than 64 years, making him the longest-serving Prince of Wales in history.

    Now, according to reports, Prince William is likely to make some alterations in the existing working style of the role.

    The Mirror reported that a key tradition that William is said to be ditching as Prince of Wales is a lavish investiture ceremony.

    During the ceremony, the monarch presents the Prince of Wales with the symbols associated with their title: the sword, coronet, ring, rod and mantle.

    In 1969, Charles’ investiture was held at Caernarfon Castle in a huge ceremony conducted by the late Queen.

    However, a royal source told the publication there were “no plans for any kind of an investiture like the Prince’s father had”.

    The source added: “Right now the Prince and Princess of Wales are focussed on deepening the trust and respect of the people of Wales over time.”

    The Sun reported after his and Kate’s tour of the Caribbean that William aims to “rip up the rulebook” and ditch old-fashioned methods to show they are modern royals.

    Earlier this year, the Sun reported that William and wife Kate would have just half the staff that work for his father Charles to “create a more cost-effective and less formal team”.

    Meanwhile, new book ‘Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown’ has claimed that William told his staff to do away with their suits while inside the office.

    The says that one member of the household said: “He wants it to be casual.

    “The kids run around the office, and he does not want it to be stuffy. If we have important meetings or are going to Buckingham Palace, then, of course, we [wear suits].”
