Although he had decades of training from his mom, it was an adjustment for Charles.
On one hand, Charles helped ease the transition by not planning any dramatic changes.
“It’s a big thing to take on at that age,” royal historian Hugo Vickers toldFortune.
“So, yes, I suspect he’s a man in a hurry.”
As William’s wife, Kate Middleton automatically became Catherine, Princess of Wales.
The monarch can then bestow the title to the person of his choice.
He also shortened the guest list from 8,000 down to 2,000.
Charles also simplified the coronation dress code.
This one cut to the program saved a significant amount: approximately 31,000.
Charles reportedly made the decision to avoid wasting energy and taxpayer money.
The King is also examining redundancies in staffing at royal residences.
“There are chefs for [Charles and Queen Camilla] and chefs for the staff.
Why, they ask, can’t there be one lot of kitchen staff for everyone?”
a royal insider queried theDaily Mail.
Andrew, however, has been reluctant to move.
As King, green initiatives remain paramount in his work.
Leftovers have been a mainstay of the menu in his household.
In July 2023, the king combined these enthusiasms and created The Coronation Food Project.
According to Charles, less waste could result in a maximum of 10% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
