Hey Chuck, how about give all the money to charities and announce the isles no longer need a monarchy?

Great! start by kicking meghan and harry out. They’ll be able to live on tv appearances, interviews, lies on oprah, and book deals for the rest of their lives.

Less ostentatious? Maybe he should be Charlie 3 instead of Charles III.

Charles III is going to go Richard III on his relatives. Don’t take the Tower of London tour, kids.

I think his apparent approach is coming from the heart and reflects a general philosophy. But it also conveniently answers the questions: Will Prince Andrew and Harry come back into the fold and be given duties and benefits? Obvious answer seems to be: Not a chance. We’re slimming down. You guys are on your own.

If I were CR III, I would have a sit down in a SCIF with Harry and tell him that he has already damaged the Crown irreparably.

If he returns the $20 mm of Judas money to the publisher of his new upcoming memoir and cancels its publication, then we can continue to go sideways with the status quo.

If that book gets published (or leaks, or another Oprah interview, etc., ...) then I will issue a Letter Patent (???) and change the succession plan to cut him, and others, out. He will be stripped of all titles and money, including any inheritance from me or Camilla. Basically, he becomes an unemployed private citizen with no pension.

And, if he divorces Mee-Again, I will fund the settlement on the sly and bring him back, but the kids are title-less regular citizens with no path to assume the Crown.

Tough love.

Do what is needed and then pass the Crown to William in 10 years.

It’s funny that the public demand a “less costly” institution. The Royal Family are some of the largest property owners in the world, and all income from their properties is given to Parliament, and put into the general Treasury. The Royal Family are then given an ALLOWANCE from Parliament on the proceeds from THEIR PROPERTY. For those who want to abolish the Monarchy, go for it. They’ll no longer have any reason to give their money to Parliament. All that revenue would be lost. Because all that land is owned by them personally, not the British government.
This system was instituted by George III because he got tired of the expense and trouble of managing his own estates.

King Charles, The Dud. Mummy did her duty to make 73 year old Charles’ reign as short as possible.

I think the working royal roster has already been reduced in recent years.

Working:

KC III
Camilla
Princess Anne
Prince of Wales
Princess of Wales
Edward and Sophie Wessex

Working but likely to retire soon with no replacement (all are past regular retirement age):

Duke of Kent (his wife the duchess retired years ago)
Duke of Gloucester
Duchess of Gloucester
Princess Alexandra

Gone:

Prince Michael of Kent - retired
Randy Andy
Halfwit
MeGain

Get rid of the fantasy aspects and no little girl will care about the monarchy.

A good start might be to ease up a wee bit on the bangers and mash.
