King Charles will struggle to gain public sympathy in the long-term, says a royal expert who warns support for the Queen shouldn't be confused with support for the monarchy.
There will be a honeymoon period for the new monarch, but the royal family will face fresh challenges after the Queen's funeral, says Prof Pauline Maclaran, co-author of 'Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture'.
According to the expert, the future survival of the monarchy will be a central concern. The 'big adjustment' to King Charles comes in the wake of troubles that have rocked the royal family, including the Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew scandal.
