In The Reacio travelerCanadian actor Eugene Levy, who directs the Apple TV+travel program, has an advertising beer with Prince William. The image may seem harmless, but she says a lot about how the Prince of Wales, the future king of England, manages her communication.
William has chosen this entertainment program to participate in important issues. The cancer of his wife Kate, his father’s, King Charles, his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II … but also the changes he intends to implement when Reina, the prince is not stingy with confidences.
It is even more surprising that it does not give interviews with the traditional press. Apparently presenting the “Rota Royal”, the media accredited to follow the royal family. Choosing to speak with Eugene Levy instead of the BBC as her mother Princess Diana, is for William a way of showing the press that manages her communication in a very different way from her father.
“Certain practices of the past”
“I hope we do not return to some of the past practices in which Harry and I had to grow, and I will do everything possible to make sure we do not return to this situation.”
In this rare allusion to his brother, Prince William evokes the game, sometimes dangerous, that the royal family and particularly Charles and Diana, played with the press. While they used it, they were the victims, especially Diana, constantly harassed by the paparazzi.
“If you are not careful, you can immerse yourself so much in the life of someone who ends up destroying everything. When I grow up, I saw this with my parents. The media were so insatiable at that time that it is difficult to imagine today, but they were even more.”
“They wanted to know the smallest detail and were everywhere, literally everywhere. They knew everything, they were omnipresent. And if you let it establish, the damage it can cause to your family life is something that I have sworn never to let my family happen.”
“That is why I am very strict about what I consider to be the limit that should not be crossed, and I will fight against those who go further,” said Prince William. “But I also understand that, in my role, there is an interest; you have to work with the media. Therefore, you have to adopt a mature attitude in this regard. It’s about knowing where the limit is and what you are ready to accept.”
If they do not speak of William and Harry, they have in common the trauma of the omnipresent media in their lives and that of their family. William does more raised what Harry has undertaken several years ago, through rolling tests against the tabloids.
And then, in a way, by participating through Netflix or an autobiography, Prince Harry also decided what he delivered to the public and how.
In The Reacio travelerWilliam agrees to answer very personal questions and is shown in a “modern” day, reaching a scooter in the appointment, handling humor and causing Eugene Levy in a pub.
“Necessary changes”
He evokes, for example, her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who is missing, especially when she is in Windsor: “Windsor, it was her”, but also Princess Kate and King Charles. The Prince had already said how much 2024, marked by the cancer of his wife and his father had been difficult.
But pushes the exercise of confession far. “We say that life puts us to the test and that it is our ability to overcome these evidence that does what we are.”
“I am very proud of my wife and father for driving [cette période]”He said, sitting with his host in an ad. Adding” 2024 was the most difficult year of my life. “
Above all, the prince gives himself there by rare secrets in his future reign, and in the style he would like to print there.
“I think I can say without being wrong that change is one of my priorities,” he said, without hiding his “enthusiasm for” the idea of being able to make certain changes. “No radical changes, but changes that, in my opinion, are necessary.”
So many extracts and quotes that the press had to be content to resume. Only Eugene Levy answered BBC questions, surprising the Prince’s franchise.
“For me, it was just a conversation. I didn’t think about that as a scoop,” he said with Bonhommie.
