EXCLUSIVE: Prince William and Princess Catherine’s SHO.CK DECISION about Monarchy’s Future Plan Amid Latest Update King Charles’s Cancer Battle STUNS Royals FansWilliam’s plan for being king: Save money and ‘work smarter’ than Charles

The Prince of Wales will slim down the monarchy and Royal Household even further when he is crowned. While it will save taxpayers money, it will also shape the way he carries out his duties

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s new eight-bedroom home affords spectacular views of Windsor Castle and an intriguing glimpse of our future monarchy under King William V.

From the top floor of Forest Lodge, a Grade II listed, three-storey, red-brick mansion dating back to 1780, William and Kate will be able to surveil the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, home to 40 monarchs since William the Conqueror began its construction in 1070.

But, in a break with tradition signalling a new style of monarchy, the couple -who expect to move from their current four-bedroom home at nearby Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, in a quiet corner of Windsor Great Park, before Christmas – will never live at the castle three-and-a-half miles away.

Nor will they live at Buckingham Palace or probably any other royal palace when William becomes king.

Their plan to become the first king and queen not to live in a palace or castle in over a thousand years of royal history stems from a desire to create a family home that is as normal as possible, a refuge from the fishbowl in which monarchs have lived, surrounded by servants and courtiers, for centuries.

King William’s slimmed down monarchy
Under King William, the number of working Royals is expected to fall to five or six, around half the number now and a third of the total at times during the reign of Elizabeth II.

“William won’t have cousins helping him like the Queen [Elizabeth] did. So he’ll have to work smarter,” one royal source said.

It is likely to mean more of a focus on short-term campaigns and events bringing various charities together, rather than the king and his family each representing hundreds of voluntary organisations.

Princess Anne, who marked her 75th birthday on 15 August, has indicated she is prepared to work on, and Edward and Sophie, once minor figures, are expected to play an increasingly prominent role in this reign and the next under William.

But there will be no room for their children on the taxpayer-funded payroll.

Prince George, the 12-year-old future king, will undertake his own royal duties eventually, perhaps after a spell in the Armed Forces, but it is too early to say for definite yet whether his siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, will have careers outside of the Firm or will be working royals supporting the family.
