King Charles has "no desire" to heap humiliation on Prince Harry and Prince Andrew by stripping them of an important royal role, an expert has said.
It has emerged that Charles will instead spare their blushes by expanding his pool of advisors and for the first time take on more than five Counsellors of State to assist him in official business should he be out of the country or become unwell to carry out his duties. At present, when the monarch is absent, state business, such as approvals for most appointments and legislation, can be conducted by two Counsellors of State.
