It’s a major part of his job and if he wants to change things he needs to state the new way forward otherwise he’ll just get criticised for being lazy and slacking off.It doesn't have to be an obvious split. Just not seen on the repetitive church walk ups etc. I just sense he's not fussed. I don't think he is fussed about a lot of the pomp. He looks quite embarrassed at times when he's in Garter robes for example.
It could be more of just loosening ties situation. Much like thousands of other families have around the UK.
