The document discusses the dilemma faced by Prince Charles and other heirs apparent who must wait long periods of time, often their entire lives, to take on their destined role while filling their time with other pursuits in the interim. This waiting can prevent heirs from developing their own identity and purpose separate from their future role. The document advocates that heirs instead focus on finding their own meaning, identity, and structure in life through hobbies, exploration, volunteering, and self-reflection to better prepare them to step into their future role.
