King Charles III is reportedly ushering in significant changes to the monarchy’s structure, following discussions with Prince Harry during his recent UK visit.
The monarch, aged 74, accompanied by Queen Consort Camilla, believes in streamlining royal duties and is not supportive of overlapping roles.
This comes in the wake of his ascendancy to the throne after Queen Elizabeth II’s passing last year. The King’s focus has been on safeguarding the monarchy and ensuring its relevance for his subjects.
In line with this vision, King Charles III is considering a reduction of 20% in middle-management staff roles to enhance the efficiency of royal operations.
This decision will impact several royal estates including Buckingham Palace, Sandringham, Windsor Castle, and Balmoral, told the Mirror.
Additionally, these modifications seem to indirectly dismiss speculations about Prince Harry and Prince Andrew’s potential reintegration as active members of the royal family.
Given the costs borne by the public through the Sovereign Grant, King Charles appears to be cognizant of the expenditure linked to the royal household.
An insider disclosed to a UK publication about the redundancy in staffing across palaces, pointing out the excess of deputy roles. Queen Camilla is expected to play a pivotal role in overseeing this transition, aligning with the shared vision of reducing redundancies in the royal structure.
