Prince Charles reportedly wants to strip titles and royal duties from all royal family members except his sons, as well as their wives and children, when he assumes the crown
Photo: Getty Images Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and the U.K.’s monarch-in-waiting, reportedly wants to slim down the royal family to its “core” members. The Daily Mail reports that upon assuming the crown, Charles wants to strip titles and royal duties from all royal family members except his sons, William and Harry, as well as their wives and children.
Though the New York Times writes that Charles has long advocated for streamlining the royal family, the recent fallout from Prince Andrew’s disastrous BBC interview seems to have given the issue increased urgency. Andrew, the brother of Prince Charles and father of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, is the subject of an ongoing scandal involving his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Following the interview, Andrew announced that he would be stepping back from royal duties. However, it was revealed a few days later that Charles had urged the queen to “fire” him. Outside of Andrew, Charles’s other two siblings have titles and participate in royal engagements, as do most of their children, so the “slimming down” would eliminate nearly a dozen royals. While the queen is still the head of the monarchy it seems unlikely that changes are imminent. That said, the Daily Mail reports that Charles, 71, met with his father, Prince Philip, last week to discuss the 93-year-old queen’s retirement in the next few years.
