Hardman observes that William respects his constitutional obligations to the Church of England but does not share the devotion his father, King Charles III, and grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, held.

People close to William describe him as a modern, practical individual who finds certain aspects of ceremonial faith uncomfortable. Despite facing family health scares, he reportedly remains reserved about religious matters, preferring not to present a faith he does not feel.
