Prince William opened up about his secret mission, which is to work on creating a better working environment for women in the military.
The Prince of Wales has been playing the role of guest editor for a special edition of Country Life magazine that will be published on Wednesday.
William personally commissioned an article about the difficulties faced by women in the forces. The future King shared that he has been conducting secret talks with servicewomen of all ranks from the Royal Navy, RAF and Army to dig deep and hear those in pain.

He said, “We need to ensure our military culture is more inclusive of women.
“I want to play my part in making the military feel like the welcoming, open and professional place I enjoyed and make it feel like that for everyone.
“At the moment, I don’t feel that we meet those standards and, as a former serving officer, I really mind it when those who wear the uniform now don’t feel safe, respected or valued.”
The article revolved around the Prince of Wales’ meetings with servicewomen over the past year.

“Servicewomen have told him about inappropriate comments, rumours being spread about those who turn down advances, late-night intoxicated harassment in barracks and, most worryingly, from one junior female, about women being used as commodities,” it reads.Â
