King Charles gets help from Camilla on fine details for Royal Family plan after Coronation

King Charles has reportedly been getting help from Camilla, Queen Consort to bring together his major plan for the royals going forward.

Camilla has been overseeing the finer details of the Royal Family shake-up, which will be run "the Clarence House way", it's been claimed.

The plan itself would see Charles cut back on the inefficiencies of the royal household.

It's long been claimed that Charles wanted to slim down the number of working royals in the family - even before he became King.

But now, the King and Queen Consort were reportedly prepped to launch their master plan after the Coronation.

One senior figure told the Evening Standard: "It is not about cuts, it is about getting the best value for money from those on the payroll. Sometimes less is more."

Another source added: "There will be staff cutbacks. That has already started.

"The buzz phrase is ‘value for money’."

It emerged earlier this month that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were "requested to vacate" Frogmore Cottage - their Windsor home - which had been given to them by the late Queen.

The Sussexes' eviction from Frogmore Cottage is the "tip of the iceberg" and more royals will have to "fend for themselves", according to insiders.

Charles is keen to cut the number of royals with a dependence on the Crown, especially if they do not carry out duties.

If relatives cannot afford where they are living, they should "cut their cloth", it's been claimed.

It comes after royal expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward previously told the Mirror that Charles is "well aware" having empty properties scattered around the country is "not a good look in these hard times".

The King's Coronation weekend still start on Saturday May 6, and ends on Monday May 8.

It will be taking place at Westminster Abbey on the Saturday, and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

A nationwide 'Coronation Big Lunch' was planned for Sunday May 7, encouraging neighbours to share food and fun in huge street parties.
