Prince William and Duchess Kate apparently plan to keep up with the times on their royal trips! According to palace circles, the couple's visits will look a little more relaxed in the future.

William and Kate "want to be more approachable"

The two royals' recent trip to the Caribbean had seen harsh criticism for strict compliance with royal protocol. However, an insider revealed in an interview with the Sunday Mirror newspaper that William and Kate intend to change their approach.

“They want to be more approachable, less formal, less stuffy and break away with a lot of the tradition. When the team arrived back in London the couple had a debrief with aides," they said. "They went over everything and pinpointed specific things that went wrong and how to improve moving forward."
