Even before his reign began, King Charles' plan for a 'slimmed-down monarchy' was made clear as he hoped to decrease the vast number of extended royals who appeared on Buckingham Palace's balcony and just have the working royals front and centre. He has certainly achieved this - perhaps even slightly too well.

Members of the British Royal Family often attract criticism for not joining in with large gatherings of European royals for events such as significant birthdays.

hardest working royals around — but she wasn’t given the honor of being Prince Harry’s godmother at his 1984 christening.In turn, the 73-year-old opted to miss the holy event at the time.

This idea that this is a united group who embody, if you like, the best of British family life,” he said on the Mirror’s “Pod Save The King” podcast.“Originally King Charles III’s reign was going to be based around him being supported by his two trusty lieutenants — William and Harry.”“But when that went so disastrously wrong in early 2020 because of Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave Britain, it really put paid to that vision of the family monarchy,” he added.Owens, who wrote “After Elizabeth: Can the Monarchy Save Itself?” continued, “And then of course we’ve had the Sussexes airing their dirty laundry in public for the best part of three years — and again it has done much damage to that narrative of happy family life.”“So why not, as I suggest in my book, do away with this family narrative once and for all? We don’t need to have this big royal family presenting themselves as moral exemplars,” he went on.“King Charles is uniquely placed because he knows first-hand that the ideal of the family rarely matches the reality of the family monarchy.”Harry and Meghan’s move sparked several high-publicity projects such as their six-part Netflix documentary, their bombshell sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, and Harry’s protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare.”In “Spare,” which has become the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time since its release on Jan.
