King Charles IIImay not progress with plans for a slimmed-down monarchy, sources have claimed.
Despite speculation that he would streamline the Royal Family following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, sources claim that King Charles has “no plans” to reduce the current number of working royals from its current number of 11.
Following the departure of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew as working royals and there being fewer living royal generations left following the Queen’s passing, the palace is thought to be considering how best the the Firm can continue to undertake the thousands of work events they attend around the globe each year.
“These are things that are all being looked at as part of a wider review at the moment,” one senior royal source told theDaily Express .
Current working royals include Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate of Wales, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, and Princess Anne.
They are also joined by the Queen’s cousins Prince Richard and his wife Birgitte as well as Princess Alexandra.
A senior royal source added: “There are no current plans to change anything on that front.”
OK! has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
The King automatically became the new monarch following the death of his mother, but will not officially be crowned until his coronation next year.
His Majesty will be crowned on Saturday 6 May 2023 alongside alongside Queen Consort Camilla and amid great pageantry in Westminster Abbey, with more than 2,000 people set to attend.
His coronation will fall on the same day as the birthday of his grandson, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie, who will be turning four.
However, it has not yet been confirmed who will attend the ceremony, or if Harry and Meghan will even be among those invited.
Harry has faced difficult times in his relationship with his father, previously telling US talk show host Oprah Winfrey he felt “really let down” by Charles.
He revealed that his father had stopped taking his calls in the run up to the Megxit crisis, and how there was a "lot of hurt."
The Duke later spoke of Charles’ skills as father, criticising him for expecting his sons to endure the pressures of royal life.
Harry further suggested that his father's parenting style had left him with "genetic pain and suffering."
When Archie was born seventh in line to the throne in May 2019, he was too far down the line of succession to receive the title.
There have since been rumours surrounding whether or not the new King will grant his grandson a royal title.
