Incoming British monarch Prince William has hatched a surprise plan to protect his reign and strengthen the monarchy amid family turmoil and a shortage of senior working royals.
Here’s to King Charles deciding to pick ‘dark horse royal’ to fill senior role amid royal shortage, according to a new report.
Kate Middleton’s husband, The Prince of Wales, is said to be eyeing the next generation of royals to step up as he prepares to take the throne.
The 43-year-old envisages a ‘lean monarchy’ when he becomes king, but he appears to be “running out of royals” to manage the company’s affairs and represent the monarchy.
There was speculation that when the Prince of Wales ascends the throne, he would introduce a new chapter for the royal family, with a “lean monarchy”.
But the list of working royals has already been significantly reduced, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving their royal duties for life in the US in 2020, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor banished from public life.
The father-of-three may be considering deploying Lady Louise Windsor – daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh – in a more prominent capacity, according to Daily Mailis Christopher Wilson.
“That leaves dark horse competitor Lady Louise Windsor, 22, who charms everyone who meets her and could be a decorative and useful asset to the royal team. But her mother Sophie, who is very protective of her daughter, is just as likely to want her to stay out of the limelight,” claimed Wilson.
The expert also hinted that Lady Louise’s younger brother, 18-year-old James, noted: “Little is known about his character and personality or whether he would want to serve as a royal front rank – even if William wanted it. He is currently a pupil at Radley, Berkshire primary school.”
Willam might see the loyalist family member encountering difficulties as public demands for the participation of a royal. As royals are always required to represent events up and down the country.
Lady Louise Windsor – who is currently studying at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland – where William and Kate met – has made a few select appearances at royal events such as Royal Ascot and Trooping the Colour.
However, Duchess Sophie is preparing to keep her two children out of the royal spotlight, giving them a normal upbringing despite their royal lineage.
