What is the new king’s vision for the new British royal family?

 

Some members of the public have questioned whether the cost of the Queen’s state funeral held on September 19 (local time) was “reasonable. It is said that more than one in five people (approximately 14.5 million people) in the United Kingdom live in poverty, and an increasing number of households rely on food banks for their groceries.

 

In this context, the cost of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral was shared equally by the royal family and the government. In other words, “taxpayer money was used.

 

King Charles seems to want to show that he is “the monarch of the people. A source told the Mirror that the coronation will be “shorter, smaller, and less expensive” than Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953.

 

The King is well aware of the suffering his people are feeling right now. So while the coronation will be faithful to the long traditions of the past, it will also, according to the King’s wishes, represent monarchy in the modern world.

 

The King has already expressed his intention to carry on his mother’s legacy. He has already stated that he intends to carry on his mother’s legacy, which includes continuing to understand what people are going through every day.

 

The official also pointed out that King Charles has long advocated “streamlining or slimming down” the royal family. The number of royal members performing official duties may be reduced, he said.

Currently, nine members of the royal family perform official duties on a full-time basis: King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, and Prince Richard and Princess Virgidine (Queen Elizabeth’s cousin).

 

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are often seen as royal members, have their own jobs and are not among the “main members” of the royal family who perform official duties. The Queen’s grandson (Princess Anne’s daughter) Zara Tindall also has a job of her own.

 

Another source revealed to the Daily Mail last year what King Charles’ plans are for the future of the royal family.

 

“Everything will be thought of in terms of, ‘What value does this provide to the people?’ ‘ And that’s the perspective that we will be thinking from.”
