It has been long reported that Prince Charles, allegedly, plans to shake up the monarchy when he becomes the new King. A royal author claimed that he eyes to lessen the royals' "sense of entitlement" and reshape the Royal Family to make it an institution that is fit for the 21st century.
Allegedly, Prince Charles wants to follow what his European counterparts did and make the monarchy more modernized. The Duke of Cornwall seems to be willing to do the shake up even it means he has to remove the privileges of the senior royals to put some balance on their royal responsibilities.
Nigel Cawthorne, author of Prince Andrew: Epstein and the Palace, told Express that the idea of the new monarchy that the Prince of Wales wanted is something that would be suitable for the 21st century. He, allegedly, has the support of his firstborn, Prince William, and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to this alleged initiative.
Like other Windsor royals in Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, and Spain, Cawthorne said the husband of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is ready to "dampen a sense of entitlement among royals." The 69-year-old writer revealed being a Windsor is already a privilege. However, it didn't mean that being part of the British line of succession would make them entitled to housing and other perks of The Firm instantly.
Also, the former husband of the late Princess Diana, reportedly, thinks that those kinds of privileges shall come with "great responsibility." His alleged planned "slimmed-down monarchy" would benefit the Royal Family members who didn't want to be under the spotlight.
Cawthorne explained that not everyone who is born in the Windsor family could have a public role. Others, too, might have no plans to be on the limelight.
However, Prince Charles and Prince Williams seem to have no choice about that, even Prince George. For the Windsors, having a royal role is "both a gift and a personal choice."
Meanwhile, The News reported that Queen Elizabeth II, allegedly, shut down the idea that the Duke of Cambridge would become the new King before his father. Royal expert Victoria Arbiter revealed many people in the U.K. wanted to see Kate Middleton's husband as the new leader of the monarchy even before Prince Charles when Her Majesty abdicated the throne.
She said on the Channel 5 documentary, William & Kate: Too Good to be True, that it would be a surprising move to skip Prince Charles in succession. The network correspondent, Simon Vigar, added that Queen Elizabeth would never let that happen despite the strong call.
