The royal family has once again found itself in the spotlight as King Charles adopts a hardline approach towards non-working royals.
Reports suggest that Prince Andrew may have to vacate the royal lodge, as his $249,000 grant is set to be cut from April, leaving him struggling to maintain it.
Additionally, all members of the royal family have been instructed to tighten their belts and anticipate reduced income from the Duchy of Lancaster, the sovereign’s private income.
This move by King Charles could have significant consequences for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
As a royal commentator points out, Charles may employ his tougher stance to pressure Harry and Meghan into refraining from using their titles.
If the couple continues to exploit their titles to profit from criticizing the royal institution, Charles may be compelled to take action.
This could severely impact their ability to generate income in the future.
It is important to note that an act of parliament would be required to officially strip either Andrew or Harry of their titles.
However, a poll conducted by the mayor indicates that 95% of respondents support revoking the Sussexes’ titles.
Daniela Iser, writing for the New Zealand Herald, suggests that if King Charles is willing to come down hard on Andrew, then Harry and Meghan will be left without their “What About Andrew” safety net.
Furthermore, if the couple persists in utilizing their titles to criticize the royal institution for personal gain, Charles will be forced to take action.
Without Charles reportedly planning to curtail Andrew’s privileges and crack down on his royal perks, this could spell trouble for Harry and Meghan.
Despite their strained relationship with the family, the Sussexes have been invited to the coronation of the King and Queen Consort on May 6th, as confirmed by reporters.
However, it remains uncertain whether Harry and Meghan will accept the invitation due to concerns about public reaction.
Their absence could be perceived as a snub.
Harry has expressed his desire to reconcile with his family and wishes for discussions to be held privately.
With tensions still running high between the family and the Sussexes, it remains to be seen how this latest development will unfold.
The public is closely watching to gauge the impact of King Charles’ new approach towards non-working roles on the wider family and the monarchy as a whole.
How will this tough stance affect the future of the monarchy and the dynamics within the family?
