King Charles III May Defy Royal Tradition by Appointing New Counsellors of State

King Charles III may be making a risky decision by giving the Prince of Wales an extraordinary royal title, according to Palace insiders.

This move comes after Charles defied Royal protocol to increase his team of advisors to five people, granting them the power to help if he is ill or abroad.

Kate, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne are among those who could all be appointed as Counsellors of State.

The King's decision to defy convention and increase the number of advisors to five has given rise to speculation about potential changes in the future.

Prior to the death of the Queen, , Andrew, William, and Harry served as Counsellors of State.

They were picked because they were above 18 and the next foreign line to the throne.

This job was also held by Prince Philip until his retirement in 2017.

Currently, two Counsellors of State can handle state business when the monarch is not present, including approving most appointments and legislation.

However, according to reliable Palace sources, there may be three additions to the current list of five.

The current five are , Duke of York, Duke of Sussex, Queen Consort, and Insider Palace said nobody will be left out.

For purely practical considerations, a pool of Counsellors of State will be increased.

It is only proper that it is taken care of since the King and Queen Consort are most likely gone, as well as possibly the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Before the King's first trip abroad the start of the year, a formal process would be required for the source noted.

Constitutional scholar Dr. Craig Prescott of Bangor University said that adding Kate to the list would be unusual, but that the adjustments would be the simplest method of dealing with the matter.

Added him, it is the most straightforward solution to the issue at hand, as there are not enough working roles to serve as Counsellors of State and it makes perfect sense.

As an addition of those who are already there, the law might designate Prince Edward and Prince Anne as Counsellors of State.

Although it's unprecedented, including the Prince of Wales, and also makes sense.

The Prince and Princess of Wales might act together since two Counsellors of State must act together.

Overall, this is the most straightforward approach to the issue and the legislation ought to easily pass through Parliament.

The move to appoint new Counsellors of State is a significant one, and could have far-reaching implications for the Royal family.

While some may view it as a risky move, others see it as a necessary step to ensure that the King has the support he needs to carry out his duties effectively.

It remains to be seen how this decision will play out in the long run, but one thing is clear: the Royal family is always evolving, and change is inevitable.

Whether this particular change will be welcomed or not remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – it will be closely watched by Royal watchers around the world.
