Some interesting snippets here. He comes across as very sensible, grounded and decent. I was slightly surprised to hear him mention Harry’s name!

He's really lovely when you meet him, very engaged and personable.

70sMuuMuu · 03/10/2025 04:17

Interesting he’s done a TV programme when thinking about what Harry and Meghan have tried with Netflix.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 03/10/2025 04:29

its going to be on Apple TV
the Telegraph article is quite good

Tezza1 · 03/10/2025 06:26

Eugene Levy is an interesting choice. Personally, I love him and find him very credible, but that's just me.

Go on, I'll bite.......why?

ThePoshUns · 03/10/2025 06:42

I love Eugene. Am looking forward to watching this.

pilates · 03/10/2025 07:04

I’m sure he will be a great King.

Hoolahoophop · 03/10/2025 07:59

Is it just me or does that article just repeat the same not a lot over and over.

I don't have apple or I would definitely watch. I like William, not sure if its because he's a decent bloke or because he was my first crush as a teen when he was very lovely to look at!

Eugene Levy is funny and seems very kind. The same with his son Daniel. Schitt’s’ Creek is my go to show when I’m feeling a bit low. Moira is probably one of my all time favourite characters.

William comes across very well in that short clip. Although, I still have no idea of what changes he intends to make, it’s all a bit vague.

Thedom · 03/10/2025 08:34

I really respect this comment he made

“I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better”

JacknDiane · 03/10/2025 08:40

Didn't Charles say similar in that he was going to modernise the monarchy? And Andrew and Fergie are still showing up to events.

Nothing changes for this mob. Don't let him convince you. Its all been said before.

William's main focus is protecting the monarchy and all the privileges they have. For years to come.

He hasn't said how. Is he admitting that what they Royals have done for decades and we have been told make them worth having has had little to no impact on people's lives? It still sounds like what he said before- less boring handshaking and small talk with pensioners from Hull (but I'll make an exception for football matches and Wimbledon) same amount spent on my family, houses and staff. No real changes to the structure of the RF. I dont believe he'll do anything at all about that.

I actually thought that was an odd comment,
My Son, does daughter and other son not matter?

pilates · 03/10/2025 09:04

I presume he referred to ‘son’ as his job as future King

And how exactly is he going to do that?

He's not made much progress on peace in the Middle East which he claimed was his mission.

He doesn't actually have much if any influence. And some of us have been hearing about modernising the monarchy for decades now, still waiting.

Andrew and Fergie know too many secrets hence why they can't kick them out!

CrimsonStoat · 03/10/2025 09:14

He can say anything, and his actions will be hidden from us unless it is deemed helpful to them.

Words are cheap. What does the monarchy do when you dig past their extensive PR?

padronpepper · 03/10/2025 09:16

@Thedom
That's the very least he could say. We all hope to leave the world in a better place for our children.

Well yes, but did he actually say what that would entail?

waltzingparrot · 03/10/2025 09:33

Who knows what the world will look like when Prince William eventually takes the reins - it's changed enormously in the last ten years. He can't exactly plan for the unknown can he?

For those of you that think neither the King or Prince William have done anything to improve the lives of anyone, at least have a read up on the King's Trust and Earthshot Prize. There are some really positive and inspiring stories there. Maybe you can change your negative views.

Thedom · 03/10/2025 09:44

Maybe I misinterpreted it, but I took it to mean his son growing up to be King in an institution he would be proud of, possibly alluding to the Andrew and Harry debacles.

AramintaWildbloode · 03/10/2025 09:45

I wasn’t pleased to hear that William enjoyed the American Pie films but other than that thought he sounded good as always seems to be the case.

I think he will make an excellent king when the sad time comes that his father dies.

Although maybe Charles will step aside for health reasons to have some time just being himself concentrating on being as well and happy as possible with his family.

I would very much understand that (as I have stage 4 cancer) and I hope the rest of the country would as well.

I have Apple tv so will be watching.

It is part of Eugene leveys programme so he is a guest, he isn't doing his own show.

It looks good he always comes across
well imo

CathyorClaire · 03/10/2025 09:49

Yet another story about how W plans to shake things up.

Why?

Is C3 sicker than we're led to believe?

Even I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for him with both his sons now puffing about either how long he's got or what they're going to do when he's gone.

Piglet89 · 03/10/2025 09:56

Watching it right now. It is curated and stage managed to within an inch of its life. I can practically hear the Ken Pal PR team in the background.

Unsurprisingly, Levy comes across as genuine, likeable and warm. He created one of America’s most memorable and relatable father figures and anyone who can embody that part so perfectly is inherently watchable.

So, having William on Levy’s series is a smart (and quite unpredictable) move by the Palace team.

William is bang on the money tho when he says “The drama and stress when you’re small really affects you when you’re older”. I think many of us who were raised in the 80s have come to realise that as adults parenting our own kids.
