The Prince has increased his responsibilities since his father and wife were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year

Prince William is "embracing his vision for a modern monarchy," according to US journalist Lee Cohen.

The future King has stepped up his royal responsibilities in recent months after his wife and father were diagnosed with cancer.

Today, William stepped in for King Charles to lead the commemorative D-Day ceremony in honour of the 80th anniversary of the historic landings.

Speaking to GBN America, Cohen said this is part of the prince's attempt to modernise the monarchy.

He said: "The Prince of Wales's resilience in the face of his family's health crises is profoundly commendable.

"He is stepping up to support his family, King Charles and his wife Catherine amidst their battles with cancer.

"It showcases William's strength of character and unwavering dedication to his future role, as well as to his beloved family amid personal turmoil, he continues to fulfil his duties with grace and fortitude.

"He's embracing a vision for a modern monarchy that prioritises social leadership and tangible impacts. But in an era where the relevance of royalty is being questioned, he's charting a course that resonates with the needs and aspirations of the people he serves."
