Prince William has ambitions to make the Royal Family more sustainable as the Prince of Wales tackles "wasteful spending" within the firm, according to a source.
The future King has worked to promote sustainability for decades, including within the firm.
A source told In Touch: "He wants expenses to be monitored closely, and any fat trimmed straight away.
"He doesn't want there to be any sense that special perks are being handed out to the Royals."

PAThey add: "He's all about the environment, so he's pushing hard to be front and centre in that respect and has put out this edict that the rest of the family needs to get on board with being as green as possible.
"Private flights and that sort of thing are being frowned on.
"The days of wasteful spending and overconsumption are ending now that William is at the helm."
Prince William has launched several initiatives to address environmental challenges, including the climate crisis, deforestation, and ocean pollution.

The royal attended the 2024 Earthshot Prize in November last year, a project he set up in 2020.
When in South Africa, Prince William said: "I can only describe what I'm trying to do, and that's I'm trying to do it differently and I'm trying to do it for my generation.
"And to give you more an understanding around it, I'm doing it with maybe a smaller R in the royal, if you like, that's maybe a better way of saying it."
