Prince Charles plans to “boot several royals” when he becomes King

<p>According to recent reports from<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/kingprincecharlesto-kick-out-more-royal-20989538" target="_blank">The Daily Star</a>, Prince Charles, 71, has plans to boot several royals out of the Royal Family when he becomes King.</p> <p>It is said that he wants to cut the number of working royals to the bare minimum after the fallout of the Prince Andrew scandal.</p> <p>The scandal, which thrust Prince Andrew’s friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has people now paying attention to Prince Charles’ plans.</p> <p>Royal experts have said that Prince Charles s moving forward with his plans for a reduced working monarchy.</p> <p>Brittani Barger, deputy editor of Royal Central, spoke to<span> </span>The Daily Star<span> </span>about the plans.</p> <p>“I think the Andrew crisis has definitely strengthened Prince Charles's desire for a slimmed-down monarchy,” she said.</p> <p>“Prince Andrew is now out of the picture. I don't see him ever undertaking royal duties again, and any hope that his daughters would is now gone.</p> <p>“So the process of slimming the monarchy has already begun as we know Charles was pushing his mother to meet with Andrew and have him step back from his royal duties.”</p> <p>Barger thinks that the future working monarchy will be Charles, his children and his grandchildren.</p> <p>“I think when it's all said and done, the monarchy will be Charles and his children and grandchildren.</p> <p>“Of course, a valid argument could be made for keeping the Princess Royal as a working royal considering how hard-working she is.</p> <p>“However, I see her and the Wessexes continuing to visit patronages and all under the reign of Charles like the Kents and Glouchesters have done under The Queen's reign - as non-working royals.”</p> <p>Charlie Proctor, editor of Royal Central, says that the crisis has strengthened the desire for a smaller monarchy.</p> <p>“I should imagine there were plenty of people sceptical of reports that Prince Charles wanted a slimmed down monarchy when he became king,” he told Daily Star Online.</p> <p>“It was widely thought that his siblings and other extended members of The Royal Family provided valuable work, so might have been opposed by some.</p> <p>"It is still true that the extended royals perform valuable work. Princess Anne and the Earl &amp; Countess of Wessex for example are some of the hardest working royals, and a slimmed down monarchy would see them as casualties.”</p> <p>Proctor said public support has shot up after the BBC Newsnight interview.</p> <p>“However, since the Prince Andrew debacle and the events surrounding his Newsnight interview, I should imagine support for a slimmed-down monarchy have shot up overnight.</p> <p>"For all the positive work royals do in their line of work, it takes only one incident for everything to unravel.</p> <p>“Prince Andrew would probably have been sidelined during King Charles’s reign anyhow, but his expulsion from public duties has now been sped up.</p> <p>"Charles only wants his immediate family conducting engagements. This consists of himself, Camilla, William, Kate, Harry &amp; Meghan. In time, the Cambridge children will also become part of ‘The Firm’.”</p>
