According to Gordon Rayner, a royal expert and journalist, the Duke of Cambridge intended to spend the second half of his 30s working as part of the “Fab Four” with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“William has been as much a victim of events as of circumstance: he did settle on a plan to spend the second half of his 30s tackling the world’s ills using the star power of the Cambridge/Sussex ‘Fab Four’, only for Harry and Meghan to walk away, said The Telegraph’s associate editor.

“Friends say Megxit left him having to ‘start from scratch’, with Covid further hampering his attempts to define his public role.”
