Prince William’s personal faith has been thrust into the spotlight, after a former royal chaplain accused the Prince of taking a “strategic and political” approach to religion.
Tim and Camilla are joined by former Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, Gavin Ashenden, to debate whether the future King’s “quiet faith” is a sign of honesty, or a worrying shift away from the deeply Christian leadership embodied by the late Queen.
They discuss claims that the Prince of Wales may not be “particularly religious,” how aides insist his beliefs “run deep” despite being private, and whether his focus on the Church’s social action - from food banks to homelessness - is enough for a future Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

The church isn’t ultimately a building or a place we go, but who we are as believers. Fellowship matters, of course, but it doesn’t create faith. That comes from a real, inward relationship with Christ. Maybe William has a true faith, maybe he doesn't. It is a personal decision not something inherited.
His job is to defend our culture and heritage,which happens to include the CofE...from threats which are visible to us all.
