Prince William planning major change for monarchy which one key royal highly disapproves of

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Prince William has a clear vision for the monarchy's future with plans to make a massive change to the structure of the Royal Family when he is King.A royal writer and commentator has claimed that the Prince of Wales is determined to carry on his father King Charles' work in creating a more streamlined Royal Family, despite resistance from a high-ranking member of The Firm.Richard Eden of the Daily Mail has revealed that sources close to Prince William have hinted at his preference for a slimmed-down monarchy, similar to changes seen in Sweden and Denmark, the Mirror reports.Eden cited an insider stating: "when the older members of the family retire, His Royal Highness won't be inviting anyone else to become working royals."Eden also mentioned: "It remains to be seen if he will even want his two younger children to be working royals." With the possibility of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, being the only other full-time royal under 60 when William potentially takes the throne and Kate becomes Queen, they might be the face of the monarchy.

The source confirmed: "That is what William want. He sees the small European monarchies as the model for the future."However, Princess Anne has previously voiced her scepticism about the concept of a 'slimmed down' monarchy in an interview with CBC News, questioning its sustainability.

She remarked: "Well, I think the 'slimmed down' was said in a day when there were a few more people around. It doesn't sound like a good idea from where I'm standing, I would say.

I'm not quite sure what else we can do."Regarding King Charles, she commented: "Well, you know what you're getting because he's been practising for a bit, and I don't think he'll change.
