Prince William's Online Image Cleanup

0:00On April 26, Prince William, the 43-year-old heir to the throne, is launching a major clean-up of his online image. Aides say he's targeting resurfaced photos by going from 2000 when he was 18 and scrubbing a toilet on his hands and knees. This comes as he preps for bigger royal duties, living in Windsor with his wife Catherine and their kids, George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7. That old picture popped up again recently, showing William volunteering in a remote Chilean village called Tortell. He was there with Raleigh International after time and believes, helping build stuff and teach English. It was part of his gap year adventure, far from palace life. Folks close to the royals have mixed feelings. Some see the photo as a good look, proving he's down to earth and not just privileged. Others worry it distracts from the serious authority he needs as future king, clashing with that polished monarch vibe. Insiders call this a wider push to control his digital footprint ahead of kingship.
