Prince Charles Could Reportedly ‘Kick Out’ Prince Edward, Princess Anne When He Ascends Throne

Prince Charles has been wanting a slimmed-down monarchy, and this is something that he would make happen when he ascends the throne.

Even though it is still unclear when the heir to the throne would take over the crown, some royal experts are already convinced that he’s already planning some major changes.

While speaking with Daily Star, Brittani Barger, deputy editor of Royal Central, said that Prince Andrew, who retired from his royal duties last year, has no chance of becoming a working royal ever again. However, he isn’t the only one who could be kicked out by Prince Charles.

“I think the Earl and Countess of Wessex [Prince Edward and Sophie] will no longer be working royals under a King Charles or even a Princess Anne. As I've said before, a valid argument can be made for keeping Princess Anne as a working royal, and I think it would be wise of Charles to keep his sister on because of the amount of work she does. She's the hardest-working member of the Royal Family,” she said.

Charlie Proctor, the editor of the Royal Central, said that Prince Charles will only keep his immediate family members, which includes Camilla, Princes William, Harry, their wives, and their children.

When the time comes that Prince Charles would take over the crown, the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester would have already retired. And Proctor said that the only way for Prince Charles to have a really slimmed down monarchy is if Prince Edward and Princess Anne would be kicked out too.

“Hopefully, Charles isn’t planning for this as not many people have worked harder for the institution of monarchy than Anne, Edward, and Sophie,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles also made headlines this week amid claims that he won’t give up the throne for Prince William. Since the dad of two has waited over 60 years to become king, it is unlikely for him to give up his important role.

However, since Prince Charles is already 71-years-old, he may decide to be king for a few years before handing over the crown to his eldest son.
