Although Buckingham Palace remained uninhabited after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the work of the royal family never stopped.
According to the "Daily Mail" local time on October 22, the new King Charles III has said that he will not implement an overly streamlined plan, and the serving royal family will remain at 11 people, including himself and Queen Camilla, Prince William of Wales and Princess Kate, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, Prince Richard and Duchess Birget, Duke of Gloucester, Princess Alexandra and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.
The news was revealed by a royal insider who was 73-year-old Charles preparing to make the decision public after his coronation.
Charles III and Queen Camilla, as the two most central members, will definitely shoulder more responsibilities.
The Windsor family will have to reduce their activities by 3,500 a year due to fewer royal members performing their duties, and royal aides are assessing the impact of this "porridge with more monks".
And as future kings and queens, William and Kate will have to increase their workload and accept new jobs. But Kate is said to have made it clear that she prefers to leave her time to her three children.
Although there was too much work to do, Charles III was obviously unwilling to let his second brother Prince Andrew, who was mired in scandal, "return", and even his two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, were abandoned, and I have to say that this uncle was quite determined to do things.
Of course, he even abandoned his second son, Harry. Since Harry Meghan took the initiative to leave and still relied on "consumption" of the royal family to gain attention, then being a king is no longer condoned, as Charles said in his first public speech after becoming king, "I also want to express my love for Harry and Meghan because they will continue to build their lives overseas", and this sentence was interpreted at the time, "He fired his son and daughter-in-law".
On the other hand, Charles also showed respect for the previous generation, and he retained four elders.
Prince Richard, 78, Duke of Gloucester (pictured man with glasses), is George V's youngest grandson and Elizabeth II's cousin, Charles 's cousin. Prince Richard was originally going to take the academic route, but his brother Prince William died accidentally in a plane crash, so he became the sole heir in the family and inherited the title.
Duchess Birgit (pictured lady with glasses) was born in Denmark and came to the UK with her divorced mother, where she married her husband in 1972 and had two daughters and a son. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester lived peacefully, unconnected from messy things, and silently performed their royal duties.
Princess Alexandra, 86, is the granddaughter of George V, like Elizabeth II, and after the death of her sister, Princess Margaret, the queen and her cousin became even closer.
As the Queen's eldest cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, stood with the Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the last time during her lifetime, and although he was 87 years old, he was still not retired, and Charles III still wanted the uncle to continue to show his face.
As for the three grandchildren living around, 9-year-old Prince George, 4-year-old Prince Louis and 7-year-old Princess Charlotte, because they are still very young, Charles did not let them shoulder the responsibility, but it is estimated that they will also be entrusted with heavy responsibilities in the future, especially George.
It is also reported that Charles is particularly fond of his granddaughter Charlotte, and he once said in a chat with people in his model town of Birdbury that he had always hoped to have a granddaughter, and now he has really got his wish, "I am very excited." I wish there was a granddaughter ... Someone came to take care of me when I was old."
