It is said that the new King would like to keep things as they are for the foreseeable future with 11 royals set to continue carrying out official royal duties.
In recent years the number of working royals has reduced anyway with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quitting to move to the US and Prince Andrew being forced to step down from public life, writes The Mirror.This means among those carrying out duties are the King, Queen Consort Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales - William and Kate - Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex.They are also assisted by the late Queen's cousins the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, the Duke of Gloucester and his wife the Duchess of Gloucester.
A senior royal source told the Daily Express: "There are no current plans to change anything on that front."And royal expert and observer Joe Little, the managing editor of Majesty magazine, added that the cousins would help to spread the load of royal duties for a little while to come.He explained: "I think they are needed to just carry on what they are doing."
