Even before he took the new role, that of the head of the monarchy, King Charles announced he would be making changes within the Royal Family. In the past, sources claimed that then Prince Charles spoke of slimming down the monarchy.“Charles has never made any secret of the fact that he wants a slimmed-down Monarchy when he becomes King. He realizes that the public don’t want to pay for a huge Monarchy and, as he said, the balcony at Buckingham Palace would probably collapse,” he was reported to have said.The truth is that there is a never-ending debate about the existence of the monarchy, and as there are those who love it because of the security it provides, there are also those who believe that it represents an obsolete establishment which costs the taxpayers a lot of money.
