King Charles Urged to Reconsider 'Slimmed-Down Monarchy' Strategy
Amidst a tumultuous period marked by health crises and the devastating loss of Thomas Kingston, second cousin to King Charles's family, a royal commentator expresses grave concerns about the fragile state of the royal household.
Cameron Walker, esteemed royal correspondent for GB News, issues a stark warning to King Charles regarding his pursuit of a 'slimmed-down monarchy'.
"The recent events underscore the vulnerability of our monarchy, which has noticeably diminished in recent months. The sparse attendance of senior royals at King Constantine of Greece's memorial service is indicative," asserts Walker.
The decision by the Prince of Wales to cancel King Constantine's memorial service, citing 'personal reasons', has raised eyebrows.
Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales remains sidelined following her January abdominal surgery, while King Charles valiantly battles cancer post-prostate surgery. Both William and Queen Camilla have reduced their royal commitments to support their ailing family members. Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew have already distanced themselves from their royal obligations.
Renowned royal biographer Phil Dampier reflects on the conspicuous absence of Harry, Meghan, and Andrew, highlighting the precariousness of the 'slimmed-down monarchy'.
Dampier advocates for the redistribution of minor royal responsibilities, suggesting potential candidates such as Princess Beatrice or Eugenie, and urging Zara and Mike Tindall to play a more active role. The prescience of Princess Anne's earlier warning now rings true.
