Camilla set to ditch age-old tradition loved by the Queen to 'modernise royals'

After the Queen's death, King Charles' wife Camilla became Queen consort. While she's not technically the Queen in its official sense, she will still be expected to carry out some of the duties we saw Elizabeth II doing.

But while Camilla will maintain some of the late Queen's longstanding traditions, she's expected to ditch something that was particularly close to Elizabeth II's heart. It could cause controversy amongst some of the more traditional royalists in the UK.

As part of a move to modernise the monarchy following the accession of King Charles III, Camilla has decided to put some changes into place. One predicted change could be the scrapping of ladies-in-waiting, who have traditionally worked as unpaid personal assistants to the Queen.
