Prince Charles Slimming Down the Monarchy Plans Is a Massive Disaster? Royal Commentor Says Scheme Is 'Risky'
Prince Charles has been planning to slim down the monarchy once he takes over as King after Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Although he has yet to apply it under his rule, royal experts believe that it could - instead - damage the royal family.
One of these commentators recently opened up about the downsides and risks of following the scheme in the latest episode of the podcast "The Firm: Blood, Lies and Royal Succession."
Royal reporter Richard Mineards said that Prince Charles's "radical plans" would not include most royal family members. His vision would reportedly not include the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well.
"So essentially, it'll just be him and his wife Camilla, and then his son William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and their children. And that will be essentially it because Charles thinks that the British public is not ready for an expanded Royal Family," Mineards said.
Although it can highlight the works of the royal family, the royal reporter believes that it will have risks since "shining too much light" can actually backfire.
At the same time, Prince Charles reportedly knows the importance of being more open to the British public.
Prince Charles remains the longest-waiting monarch in the British monarchy, but it does not mean he can perfectly do his role.
Prince Charles Will Find It Hard To Adjust
Before the succession happens, royal biographer Jane Dismore noted that something about the Prince of Wales is still missing.
The "Princess: The Early Life of Queen Elizabeth II" author said that the Prince of Wales has been waiting for his whole life. Still, his personality will reportedly make it difficult for him to adjust to his new role.
Dismore explained that Prince Charles would not be able to serve as long as Queen Elizabeth II did, so he does not have a chance if he will compete with her.
She then issued a warning that his personality is far from the ideal traits Queen Elizabeth II has. Prince Charles, on the other hand, is a bit moodier and more introspective.
Author Cele Otnes and royal reporter Eloise Parker shared a similar sentiment, saying that these could backfire immediately. What's worse is that Prince Charles' political tendencies could ruin everything even more.
As the nation's king, not being apolitical could affect the monarchy's popularity.
