We’re in a ‘new era’ of Princess Kate and William – he’s had Superbowl moment after difficult year

PRINCE William has had his ‘Superbowl moment’ after a difficult year and is in a ‘new era’, royal experts claim.

In this week’s episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive, News.com.au’s Royal Reporter Bronte Coy was joined by Broadcaster and Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson and ITV’s Royal Editor Chris Ship.

The royal experts claimed that Prince William, who stepped out today alongside wife Kate, 42, at Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday, is the ‘most relaxed’ we’ve seen him all year.

In particular, experts recognised that William, 42, who was at the Earthshot Prize in Cape Town just days ago, appears to finally be ‘at peace’ despite his ‘extremely difficult year’.

Speaking on the Royal Show, Sarah Hewson explained: “We’re seeing William at the most relaxed we’ve seen him all year. 

“He talked about his love for the continent of Africa, said it was where he went to seek comfort as a teenager, it was where he went to propose to his wife, it’s also where the idea for the Earthshot Prize was born, because he was inspired by some of the projects he saw in Namibia and Tanzania back in 2018.

“We’ve seen him relax. This is what they describe as his ‘Superbowl moment’ - the Earthshot Prize awards.

“There he was, literally wearing shoes made by one of the Earthshot Prize winners, biodegradable shoes. 

“And a Prince of Wales checked blazer which was bought from a vintage shop.

“He was talking about the children, he was talking about Catherine, he seemed to be much more at peace after an extremely difficult year.”

Not only this, but Chris recognised that the father-of-three, who today laid a wreath alongside the King at the foot of the Cenotaph, the national war memorial, has felt able to be open with the public about his personal life.

He shared: “After a very difficult year, he’s gone away to this project, which again, has been a very successful one. 

“He felt able to talk about Kate in which he hasn’t before.”

The royal experts claimed that Princess Kate and Prince William have entered a ‘new era’, as Bronte said: “He does seem a bit more relaxed, self-assured and ready.” 

Much more willing to speak than we’ve heard him. Much less guarded then we might have expected

Following this, Sarah chimed in: “I think it started with that video that was released in September to mark the end of Kate’s chemotherapy.

“We really saw a much more intimate portrait of them as a couple and as a family.

“He was happy for that to be out there and then asked about the Princess of Wales and he said ‘she's doing really well and has been amazing’.

“Much more willing to speak than we’ve heard him.

"Much less guarded then we might have expected.”

And after William shared an update on Princess Kate’s health, Chris recognised that the Prince is keen to keep the public informed.
