Time.news – A “streamlined royal family” is an idea that does not win over the world princess anna. Se King Charles he aired it to reduce the number of people who ‘work’ on real commitments, his younger sister does not consider it “a good idea” and said it in an interview with Canadian public television CBC News taken up by the Guardian.
The royal who works the hardest
Anna, sixteenth in succession to the throne and two years younger than Charles, is indicated by the numbers as the “hardest working royal”: in 2022 she participated on behalf of the family in 214 engagements, against 181 for Charles. AND his commentary is trenchant: “I think the ‘slimmer’ was said on a day when there were a bit more people around. Doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I stand, I’d say. I’m not entirely sure what else we can Do”.
Speaking from St James’s Palace ahead of Charles’ coronation on Saturday, Anne said she expected much more from her 74-year-old brother. “You know what you can get because she’s been exercising for a while and I don’t think she’s going to change,” she said. “He is committed to his he level of service and that will stay true.”
The controversy over the “tribute of the people”
L’Westminster Abbey it will take center stage when the King is crowned at noon during next Saturday’s coronation ceremony. Charles’s coronation will include the first “tribute of the people”, an addition to the ancient ceremony in which people across the UK and overseas kingdoms will be invited to take an oath of allegiance to Charles.
The proposal was branded by critics as “offensive, deaf and a gesture that despises the people”. Graham Smith, spokesman for Republic, which campaigns for the abolition of the monarchy and its replacement by a directly elected head of state, said: “In a democracy it is the head of state who should swear allegiance to the people, not the other way around “This kind of nonsense should have died with Elizabeth I, not survived Elizabeth II.”
