King Charles had to step in to stop Prince Harry and Andrew from losing major job

A decision has been made by King Charles III to not strip Prince Harry and Andrew of their prestigious roles, after they stepped down from their royal duties.

The King will instead spare the pair embarrassment by expanding his team of advisors, reports the Daily Record. The monarch will, for the first time, take on more than five Counsellors of State to assist him in many aspects of official business.

These advisors will help if the King travels outwith the UK, or became unwell. Until the Queen died, these positions were held by the then-Prince Charles, Prince Harry, Prince William and Prince Andrew.
