Undeniably his grandmother Queen Elizabeth has done an impeccable job over the course of her 70 year reign, but father-of-three William apparently plans on changing things up a bit when he becomes king.

As his mother’s coffin lay on a gun carriage, draped in the Royal Standard and white lilies, a teenage Prince William bowed his head in deep mourning.
