CHARLES’ SECRET ROYAL CULL REVEALED!

The king-in-waiting is set to shake up the monarchy

It is the moment Prince Charles has been waiting several decades for – finally being crowned the King of Great Britain. Just last week, news filtered from Buckingham Palace that the Queen will indeed bestow him with the regency in 18 months time, when she retires at the age of 95.

ROYAL HIT LIST

And Woman’s Day has exclusively learned that Charles, 71, has already set about planning the biggest shake-up the monarchy has ever seen – and his royal relatives know none of them are safe. According to our insider, a “document” has been found by a staffer at Clarence House, who saw a list of names detailing which members of the family will be cut from the firm the moment the Prince of Wales takes over – and lose their royal residences too! “Charles has been wanting a cull ever since Prince William got married [in 2011],” says a source. “That’s no secret – but word is spreading that pretty much no one will survive this.” Woman’s Day understands that Charles, his wife Camilla, 72, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as direct and immediate descendants of the throne, will keep their places. Meanwhile, the first to face Charles’ chopping block is almost certainly his beleaguered brother Prince Andrew and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

“Charles has wanted them gone for years. Andrew’s nothing but a nuisance and his daughters are just a money pit,” says a source. “Andrew is singlehandedly ruining the monarchy with his dodgy dealings and uncomfortable friendship with a paedophile [the late Jeffrey Epstein], so he’s a dead cert to go.

“By proxy, that means his other siblings are on the list – Princess Anne and Prince Edward, plus their spouses. Anne couldn’t care less – she’s keen to retire anyway – but Edward and his wife Sophie will be furious. They carry on

a lot of work behind the scenes, quietly and without much fuss. They don’t deserve this.”

Even Charles’ own son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan need to watch their step, despite Charles hoping they’ll fall into line and support him and William.

IN THE FIRING LINE

“Charles swore that his next order of business will be pulling Harry and Meghan into line,” says a source. “Between their gallivanting around and sucking up taxpayer money to live their lavish lifestyle, they’ve been a complete PR disaster, especially at a time they could be stepping up to help.”

Perhaps the only one thrilled about Charles’ need to dial back the seats around the family dinner table is Camilla. “For years no one wanted her in the family at all. Now she’s able to pull a lot of strings,” says a source. “She would absolutely be behind a lot of

Charles’ cutthroat decision-making.”
