William and God. Does his 'quiet faith' matter in modern Britain?
About this episode
The episode discusses Prince William's expression of his 'quiet faith' and its implications for the monarchy in modern Britain.
Prince William has addressed questions about his religion publicly for the first time, revealing to The Sunday Times his Christianity as a “quiet faith". But why has William chosen to speak now? And what does a “quiet faith” mean for a future King who will also be Supreme Governor of the Church of England? That approach was tested this week as William and Catherine attended the installation of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. Roya Nikkhah and Kate Mansey are joined by The Times religious affairs correspondent Kaya Burgess to examine William’s intervention, how it differs from previous monarchs, and whether it reflects a monarchy evolving for a more secular, multi-faith Britain. Do you think William’s ‘quiet faith’ fits a modern monarchy? Or does a monarch need to be more openly religious?
