Up to 100 long-standing members of King Charles staff have been hit with redundancy notices as the new monarchy's base moves from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace.
In a letter to staff the King's top aide Sir Clive Alderton wrote: “The change in role for our principals will also mean change for our household … The portfolio of work previously undertaken in this household supporting the former Prince of Wales’s personal interests, former activities and household operations will no longer be carried out, and the household … at Clarence House will be closed down.
The King’s private secretary added: “I appreciate that this is unsettling news and I wanted to let you know of the support that is available at this point.” No final decisions are understood to have been taken, as a consultation period, which will begin after the state funeral next Monday, needs to be completed first.
