Prince William’s Shock Interview: Fit for Purpose or Fit for Battle?
Episode 8 min 53s
Prince William’s candid comments in a travel show interview have ignited a royal firestorm. Speaking with Eugene Levy, William said he wants to avoid the mistakes of his parents—and openly questioned whether the monarchy, in its current form, is still “fit for purpose.”

Royal expert Tom Sykes calls it the clearest sign yet of a deep rift between the Prince and his father, King Charles. Deep Crown weighs in on William’s sudden ruthlessness, while Sky News explores how “change” has become William’s quiet manifesto.

Meanwhile, King Charles reacts to the tragic Yom Kippur attack in Manchester, Aunt Sophie shines a light on sexual violence in the Congo, and Thomas Markle says he’s safe—and watching Charlie Chan movies—despite what Samantha Markle claimed.
