People and royalty
A royal expert announces changes ahead of the holidays.
The foie gras was only an amuse-bouche. Very recently, it was announced that Charles III decided to banish the French specialty so appreciated by Elizabeth II from the royal residences. And this is not the only change announced on the side of Windsor and Buckingham Palace.
Less formal
The former Prince of Wales, anxious to leave an imprint despite a late reign, will turn the way his family spends Christmas upside down. Three traditions in force during the reign of Her late Majesty will be no more. According to former BBC royal expert Jennie Bond, the king insisted on the mood “less stuffy” et “less formal” within the Firm this winter. Charles III will also put an end to a ritual that he would judge downright ” archaic » : Kate, William and the others will no longer be required to watch her Christmas speech in advance, something Elizabeth II insisted on. Finally, the husband of Camilla Parker Bowles wants to ignore the usual bow that the other members of the royal family must perform in front of the monarch. A way to modernize the codes of the monarchy in flexibility.
