Pay Your Rent! King Charles’ Modern Monarchy Cuts Down on Royal Family Expenses
The crown on King Charles’ head marks the era of a new reign. While the coming of a new king in the monarchy is mostly deemed significant for the citizens, King Charles’ era may be different. The royal has had plenty of time to think about the changes he wants to bring about once he takes over the throne. Therefore, it has not taken him much time to start implementing some new rules. And this time around, the royal family, especially those who love luxury, will deal with the aftershock as the new King takes over.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were asked to leave the Frogmore cottage earlier this year. While many understood this as a sign of their personal relationship getting worse, looks like there was a political agenda behind it all. And the Sussexes might actually be the most stable Royals following King Charles’ new policy.

The King of Britain has been a flag bearer of ‘modern democracy’ long before his days on the throne were near. He has also worked closely with the late Queen to understand what it is that Britain needs. And as evident by the new policy that he is cooking, as reported by Evening Standard, he has concluded that the change starts within the royal family. This means that he will be cutting down on the “top-heavy royal household.” Those who hold the title of ‘working royals’ enjoy numerous monetary perks, irrespective of the amount of work they do. And King Charles will be seeing the end of this.
The extended members of the royal family, which are quite a lot, have been enjoying the perks of their royal titles. While the King does not intend on taking away their titles, he does want them to “pay their own rent.” His aim is to use the royal treasures efficiently. “The boss wants effective people in effective positions doing effective jobs being paid appropriately,” a spokesperson mentioned.

The thread connecting Prince Harry to the royal family grows weaker by the day. This was evident as he revealed that he has not spoken to his brother or father for months in the Harry & Meghan docuseries. This, followed by the decision to kick them out of Frogmore Cottage, definitely seemed to be the breaking of the last straw. However, there was a financial agenda against it all.

Nonetheless, Prince Harry was already paying the taxes for the cottage from his own pockets even before there was any news of cutoffs. Moreover, the couple has a breathtaking mansion in the United States that is not paid for by the Palace. Therefore, on the surface, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do not have anything to worry about.
