Prince William has learned new ways to be royalty after Meghan Markle's injury.
Express..co.uk says the Duke of Cambridge, second only to the throne, believes the royal rule of 'never complain, never explain' should be abolished.
It was Meghan who first challenged the role, when she stepped down as a senior royal with husband Prince Harry in 2020. A year later, the Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey about facing racism in the royal family.
While Meghan rejected the "British sensibility of a rigid upper lip" rule, William has learned the hard way that the rule won't bode well in the future.
The Duchess of Sussex said it was "probably really hurtful" to bury her feelings while speaking about the criticism directed at herself and her husband, Prince Harry.
During an ITV interview, Meghan said "just a few are not enough to survive".
The Duchess of Sussex told presenter Tom Brady: "I've said this for a long time, that's what I tell her, it's not enough to just survive something, is it?
"That's not the essence of life.
"You've got to thrive, you've got to feel happy and I think I've really tried to embrace this British sensibility of a hard upper lip.
"I tried, I really tried.
"But I think what it does internally is really harmful."
