King Charles’s ambitious plan to create a slimmed-down monarchy is facing unexpected challenges, according to a royal commentator.

Welcome to Royal Pancakes, where we bring you the latest news about the British monarchy.

In an interview on GB News, Pandora Forsyth discussed Prince Harry dropping his libel claim against the Mail and being required to cover the newspaper’s legal fees.

The conversation then turned to King Charles’s idea of a streamlined monarchy and whether it was backfiring, especially with the hospitalization of two senior members of the royal family.

Patrick Christie, the host, asked Ms. Forsyth if a slimmed-down monarchy was the right approach, considering the circumstances with Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.

Ms. Forsyth responded, acknowledging that this situation represented the worst-case scenario for the king’s plan.

With both the King and Princess Kate currently unable to fulfill their duties, the challenges of implementing a slimmed-down monarchy become evident.

Princess Anne was the busiest working royal last year, so it is likely that King Charles will heavily rely on her.

Additionally, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, are actively involved in royal engagements.

However, the situation raises questions about the roles of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.

Nevertheless, since this time of year tends to be relatively quiet for the royals, now might be the most opportune moment for such setbacks to occur.

Patrick then brought up rumors suggesting that Prince Harry learned about his father’s condition through the media and asked if this was the price he had to pay for living on the other side of the world.

Pandora replied that while this speculation is uncertain, it highlights the challenges of being physically distant from one another.

As a non-senior member of the family, it remains unclear what formal arrangements would be made for Prince Harry in such health-related situations.

Nevertheless, as a working family, the royal household prioritizes its responsibilities and obligations.

Patrick Christize agreed, emphasizing that during times of stress, health issues, and turmoil, families tend to come together and support one another.

However, if an individual deliberately chooses to operate on the outskirts of the family, they must accept the consequences that come with it.
