Dozens of staff at Clarence House were given notice of the threat of redundancy while they worked round the clock in the wake of the King’s accession, reports have said.
The Guardian revealed that members of staff, including private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and other loyal household employees, received the letter while the thanksgiving service for the Queen was taking place in St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday.
Charles’s office will move from Clarence House to nearby monarchy HQ, Buckingham Palace, following the death of the Queen. The King’s top aide, his principal private secretary Sir Clive Alderton said, in a letter seen by The Guardian, that the change in role for Charles and Camilla meant that Clarence House will be “closed down”.
