King Charles III has ‘no plan' to cut working members of royal family

According to royal insiders, King Charles III’s plans for the “slimming down” of the monarchy have been scrapped. According to Richard Palmer, Daily Express’ Royal Correspondent, King Charles and his advisers have discarded the decision to reduce the number of working royals’ number. The new monarch’s change of heart comes less than two months into his reign.



Daily Express’s Royal Correspondent talks about the decision and noted that it was assumed the aim, when Charles took the throne, was that he would trim down the monarchy even further. Palmer confessed he was surprised to hear the news from persons close to King Charles III. He thought it would have been a fantastic opportunity for the cousins of Queen Elizabeth II to have enjoyment after some years of retirement after helping the monarchy and the nation.


As compared to other European monarchies, the UK has the highest number. There is an argument that the UK has a larger population, including the Commonwealth. However, most monarchs are represented by four or five persons, which is surprising.
