King Charles is ready for new layoffs

What Carlo had in mind a leaner and less expensive monarchy this was known well before his accession to the throne. Now that he’s king, Charles III he is turning his plans into reality. And the first to pay the price are the real employees. According to Mirrors the new ruler in the coming weeks, he will lay off dozens of people who work in Windsorthe castle where his mother had chosen to live in her last years Queen Elizabeth. According to one source, workers would be “very worried”: «It is a really difficult moment. Many are already resigned to leaving the job they have loved for years.’ On the other hand, Charles and his wife, the queen consort Camilla, do not seem willing to move to the castle. And for the new king, with a view to a less expensive monarchy, a reduction in the personnel who served Queen Elizabeth is apparently inevitable. The queen could count on the help of about 500 collaborators, with various tasks: from waitresses to wardrobe clerks, from cooks to gardeners, from secretaries to accountants up to social media managers. Once she has disappeared, there is no longer a need for some figures, who will be replaced by close collaborators of Carlo and Camilla, who have a total of around a hundred people at their service.

The “slimming cure” imposed by Charles on the Crown had already begun last September. A few days after the death of Elizabeth IIthe new king’s ax had indeed befallen upon a hundred employees of Clarence House, which until the death of Queen Elizabeth was the official residence of Charles and Camilla. In view of the couple’s move to what will be the new headquarters of the monarchy (it is not yet known which of the royal residences they will choose), the staff has been drastically reduced: from particular secretaries at waitergive her wardrobe to the team responsible for communication, in all Carlo “killed” about a hundred people. “Our staff have provided a long and loyal service and, although some redundancies will be inevitable, we are working urgently to identify alternative roles for the greatest number of employees,” read the official note released by Palazzo.

On the other hand, whoever is hired by the royal family signs a contract which explicitly provides that, in the event of the ruler’s death, the new employer – in this case King Charles III – may decide whether to relocate the figure or fire her with a generous severance pay. Employees who received the letter and who are ultimately fired will have six months to find new employment. And, with the Windsor name on their resume, they’ll have no trouble getting hired elsewhere.

The reorganization of the monarchy carried out by Charles could overwhelm, according to the Mirrorsalso the queen’s ladies-in-waiting: valuable handymanbut also also dear friends and intimate confidants, who have accompanied The Queen, silently, in the most important moments of her life. For their services these noblewomen – who were personally chosen by the queen – receive no salary. In fact, the ladies-in-waiting work for free: at most, they can request reimbursement of expenses. Theirs is a job based solely on prestige and they are not expected to retire: must faithfully serve the queen for life, with a rotation of two weeks each. Now that Elizabeth is gone, the fate of these ladies, all over eighty, is in Carlo’s hands. What will they do?
