After facing criticism over their new titles, Prince William and Kate have been advised to cut back on unnecessary extravagance.
A petition calling for the abolition of the Prince of Wales title has gained significant traction online, amassing close to 36,000 signatures.
Following the recent passing of the Queen and the coronation of King Charles III as the new monarch, William and Kate have assumed the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.
Their first official trip to Wales took them to the island of Anglesey, where they began their royal duties.
However, a wave of backlash has emerged, with demands to abolish the Prince of Wales title reaching a peak through a Change.org petition.
Reports suggest that William has no intentions of holding an investiture ceremony similar to his father's, King Charles III.
In light of the current cost-of-living crisis affecting many Britons, royal executive editor Ahmed Scobie has urged the couple to ensure the monarchy remains relatable.
He emphasized the importance of avoiding any displays of opulence that could alienate the public.
Welsh residents, familiar with the grand investiture ceremony held for King Charles III in 1969, welcomed the news of William's decision to forgo a lavish ceremony.
The historical event had sparked protests and controversy due to its extravagant nature during a time of economic hardship.
Scobie highlighted the need for the royal family to be mindful of public sentiment, especially amidst the ongoing economic challenges in the UK.
The couple's efforts to connect with the people of Wales and earn their trust were commended by local officials and community members.
William's focus on gradually building trust and respect among the Welsh population was evident during his conversations with Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford.
The couple's dedication to their roles as Prince and Princess of Wales was praised by Reverend Stephen Bunting during their visit to Swansea.
The Prince of Wales' interest in learning Welsh and engaging with the Welsh community has been viewed positively, showcasing his commitment to embracing his new role.
As they navigate their responsibilities, William and Kate aim to demonstrate their genuine dedication to serving the people of Wales.
