Edward’s presence signals both his growing importance in his own family, as well as the monarchy's importance to British diplomacy at a potentially rocky moment.

The Prince of Wales, 42, is said to be putting his foot down on several key decisions about the Firm’s long-term future.

Prince William has a keen eye on his future. While King Charles III hasn't yet given up his post as monarch, it appears his heir is already preparing for when he ascends the throne. The Prince of Wales reportedly intends to continue his father's plans to "slim down" the monarchy.

The Prince of Wales is allegedly "seizing more power" from King Charles, and wants to give "some lesser-known royals more of a spotlight."
