King Charles III waited for the day when he would finally receive the important title and top role as Britain's monarch. But when the day finally arrived, he and the entire world were still shocked by the suddenness of the events. After all, King Charles III inheriting the role of the monarch meant that his mother, Queen Elizabeth already passed away.
King Charles III's Staffers At Clarence House Will Be Laid Off
King Charles III's new role brings with it several key changes not only to his position but also to the jobs of the people that supported him when he was still residing at Clarence House. Since he is the new king of Britain, the dad of two is expected to relocate to Buckingham Palace in London very soon.
His top aide, Sir Clive Alderton, confirmed that some of the people that worked for King Charles III when he was still the heir to the throne would have to be laid off. After all, Clarence House would be closed down, and there would be no work functions inside the 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. It is therefore expected that the need for the posts principally based at Clarence House, whose work supports these areas will no longer be needed," he said (via The Guardian).
