EXCLUSIVE: Prince William Set for Major 'Internet Mop-Up' Before He is Crowned King
Royal aides fear throwback photos could be weaponized online.
Prince William is said to be preparing a sweeping “Internet mop-up” as he moves closer to the throne, with aides telling THE VAULT he is keen to remove resurfaced images as part of a broader effort to present a carefully controlled public image.
The 43-year-old heir to the British throne, who lives in Windsor with his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, 44, and their three children – Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven – has faced renewed attention and ridicule after an image from his 2000 gap year re-emerged online.
The photo has reignited debate about how such moments sit alongside the expectations placed on a future monarch.
