Royal family news reveals King Charles won’t tolerate non-working royals who feel entitled to privileges. As a result, Charles recently evicted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage. But that eviction symbolizes the start of the King’s new royal rules.
Find out what sources revealed about King Charles’ plans to cut down on so-called “distant relatives” who want something from him without giving anything in return. And learn what it reveals about Charles’ future relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Get all the royal tea below.
King Charles Won’t Give Freebies To Relatives Who Don’t Work
Royal family members might feel entitled to privileges like a cottage simply because they were born into the royal family. But as Prince Harry just discovered, King Charles doesn’t agree with that philosophy.
And Harry, along with Meghan Markle, getting evicted from Frogmore Cottage represents just the “tip of the iceberg” in terms of Charles’ new plans, reported People.
An insider shared that Charles views evicting Harry and Meghan as “just the start” of his changes. The recent order to leave their cottage came after the couple stepped back as working members of the royal family. And they then moved to California, where they have resided since 2020.
But King Charles, 74, has set a goal of cutting down on royal family members who depend on the monarchy for money. And he believes that letting royal family get free housing or even subsidized rents no longer makes sense. “The King is not some sort of housing association for distant relatives,” said a source. And Charles plans to rent the properties at commercial rates, with royal heritage not a requirement to sign a lease.
King Charles Teams Up With Prince William To Change Monarchy
Beyond ending housing situations like Harry’s, King Charles wants to cut down on his staff. And Queen Camilla, 75, will work with him to achieve that goal. But the couple does plan to give palace employees pensions and competitive salaries in order to retain top staff.
“The staffing has been on the top-heavy side. That has built up over time, with advisers to advisers and so on. That’s all going to stop. The boss wants effective people in effective positions doing effective jobs being paid appropriately,” revealed the insider. And King Charles has teamed up with Prince William to change the structure.
A spokesperson shared that the monarchy recognizes staff members “have given long and loyal service.” As a result, those who are let go due to “redundancies” will get help in finding “alternative roles.” However, King Charles’ slimmed-down coronation on May 6 also symbolizes his new approach.
For instance, 8,000 people crammed into stands to attend Queen Elizabeth’s three-hour coronation. But King Charles has cut his guest list to Westminster Abbey’s actual capacity of 2,000. And the ceremony will last just an hour. As Buckingham Palace stated, “The Coronation will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”

I think Camilla needs to keep her opions yo herself no one gives a crap what she has yo day anyway. She’s just a a side piece. She broke up their relationship and I’d like to give her a piece of my MIMD anyway
I agree with the King, but Camellie doesn’t need to make the rules, only the King should! They are his Childern not hers. I feel if it weren’t for her Diana would be here today. If she would of left them alone I’m sure they would of fallen deep in love, Diana never stood a chance with her in their life.

First – Frogmore Cottage was a wedding gift from the Queen. It was refurbished and then Harry and Meghan paid back the cost. Still it was a wedding gift from the Queen. Apparently a gift that is given to someone in the UK can be taken. It doesn’t matter if they are working royals or not. It was a gift. Then they paid rent on said gift. The only reason Charles is doing/evicting is to down size Andrew so William and Kate can get the royal lodge. Mark my words it will be refurbished to William and Kate liking they will not pay for it. The struggling and working people of the UK it will come out of their pocket. Then I remembered about Charles setting up a trust for Camilla’s kids. I can’t see Charles being king that long then the spoiled bully temper tantrum fit pitching Prince will rule.
I am absolutely aghast at the stupidity of people accusing Charles of breaking up his marriage to Diana! Diana had several affairs, the first being with her protection officer! That was several years before he reconnected with Camilla! After he lost his job, she continued with his successors! When the news outlets outed Diana she still continued! When Diana finally confessed on television, due to trickery by aBBC reporter she was out! Charles reconnected with Camilla during the realisation that his marriage was over! He had kept quiet with about her multiple affairs, until she admitted to one on television. It was then that the Queen stepped in and ordered them to divorce! Diana was a beautiful aristocratic lady but even her late father knew of her adulterous relationships! She was a wonderful mother, but fired one of the boys nannies because the boys, particularly William would cry to go to her! So there was a certain vindictiveness within Diana! I loved Diana but we also must admit to her character flaws! She loved to play the victim!
