Even before he took the new role, that of a king, Charles announced he would be making changes within the Royal Family. In the past, sources claimed that then-Prince Charles spoke of slimming down the monarchy.
“Charles has never made any secret of the fact that he wants a slimmed-down Monarchy when he becomes King. He realizes that the public don’t want to pay for a huge Monarchy and, as he said, the balcony at Buckingham Palace would probably collapse,” he was reported to have said.
“Prince Charles has wanted for a very long time to cut the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer,” royal expert Angela Levin told TalkRADIO in the past, as per Express.
Truth to be told, with Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties and prince Andrew getting estranged from the family, the number of working royals has indeed reduced significantly. Sadly, during the recent months, that number lowered even further after Kate Middleton underwent what was described as a “planned” abdominal surgery and King Charles was diagnosed with cancer, forcing both of them to take some time off.
While both royals either cleared their schedules or postponed certain royal engagements, their significant others, as well as other members of the royal family stepped in for them.
Queen Camilla had a tough few weeks where she had to take on a lot of responsibility for the royal family. Among the rest, she led the royal family at the memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece.
Dame Julia Cleverdon, a close confidante, highlights Camilla’s pivotal role, stating, “The real heroine… is Queen Camilla.” However, Cleverdon is also concerned of the Queen’s well-being because she has taken plenty upon herself during the last period.
Cleverdon has also been reported to have spoken of King Charles saying he’s determined to recover swiftly.
Lord Dobbs praised the King for his transparency, highlighting the significance of early diagnosis in overcoming such hurdles. He applauds the King’s courage and encourages others to confront similar challenges openly, believing that doing so can lead to better outcomes.
We truly hope that both King Charles and the Princess of Wales would beat cancer and return to their royal duties.
