Prince William and Prince Harry are planning some major changes to Kensington Palace

There are major changes coming to Kensington Palace.

According to reports, Prince William and Prince Harry are revising the way things work at Kensington Palace and may even “go their separate ways”.

That sounds a bit extreme but apparently, it’s all down to streamline their daily routines as they both have very different roles.

The news was shared over the weekend by Roya Nikkhah, the royal correspondent for The Sunday Times and it appears that the brothers together with their wives will now go down different paths.

Roya tweeted the news, a major royal exclusive, explaining that “the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex are preparing to go their separate ways. Willliam and Harry considering plans to split the Kensington Palace household and create two separate courts as their future roles with Kate and Meghan diverge”.

It’s a little difficult to imagine how this might work but now that both of them are married and have their own families, it’s clear that their lives are changing.

This plan has been referred to a “royal division” although that makes it sounds slightly more negative than it actually is and it’s believed that now is the perfect timing with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expecting their first child.

In time, William is likely to become Prince of Wales and this will mean more official responsibilities while Harry has undertaken other projects including the introduction of the Invictus Games.

They’re likely to create separate households resulting in a ‘split’ of Kensington Palace but how and when this plan will be actioned is anyone’s guess.

A royal source told The Sunday Times:

“The brothers have leant on each other and looked after each other since their mother died. But now they have their own families, they no longer rely on each other as before”.

We’ll just have to wait and see what unfolds…
