Years before King Charles III was crowned Sovereign, he vowed to slim down the British monarchy.
The King‘s close friends and aides spoke to the media, explaining that he wanted to cut down on spending.
He wanted a handful of working royals, planned to sell some royal assets, and turned several historical castles into museums.
For example, King Charles did not have plans to move into Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. The King will remain at Clarence House because he is more comfortable in the modest abode.
A close advisor close to the King told The Sunday Times: “I know he is no fan of ‘the big house,’ as he calls the palace. He doesn’t see it as a viable future home or a house that’s fit for purpose in the modern world. He feels that its upkeep, both from a cost and environmental perspective, is not sustainable.”
King Charles is selling 14 racehorses he inherited from his mother, The Queen.
However, it seems that a new reality has set in since inheriting the throne from Queen Elizabeth II.
King Charles has made a stunning reversal of policy. It has been confirmed by The Daily Mail that King Charles is canceling the plans “for a slimmed-down monarchy and will keep the number of working royals at 11.”
King Charles’s original model featured just seven senior royals, but that has been axed due to “a series of external events.”
Another change set to take place under King Charles’s reign is the fact that there will be fewer engagements. There are not enough able bodies to perform the 3,500 annual engagements.
Aides have been actively brainstorming how to handle charities and patronages that get their majority of donations thanks to visits from the Royal Family.
One senior royal source told The Daily Express: “These are things that are all being looked at as part of a wider review at the moment.”
The hope is to increase the workload for Prince William and Kate Middleton. However, there is a major problem — according to the British media outlet, Middleton has a different opinion and feelings on the matter.
She has made it clear that she wants to focus on her three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
With Kate Middleton’s heart set on being a present mother and King Charles’s desperate need for more working royals, many believe that opens the door or at least a conversation about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Lord Taylor of Warwick recently did an interview on GB News and hinted at the return of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to help fulfill King Charles’s mission.
He said: “This rift, I think, can only be bad for royalty. Time can be a great healer. Hopefully, they’ll come back together again. I’m a great optimist. I mean, royalty is bigger than any individual.”
The international leader added: “I think Meghan and Harry will realize that as time goes on. Their brand will diminish, and the Royal Family’s brand will increase. Their newsworthiness is based on complaining. That is what is so corrosive, in my opinion.”
Some royal observers say that King Charles could have enough palpable propositions to convince the renegade royals to come back home.
Others believe the ship has sailed and there is no way back.
