King Charles has reportedly hired a law professor in preparation to slim down the Monarchy.
Charles is said to have hired Dr John Sorabji, a law lecturer at University College London (UCL) as part of the monarch's new team.
Sorabji, a former barrister at Nine St John Chambers, is likely to play a supporting role to the King's private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton.
A source told The Telegraph that Dr Sorabji was a "super smart" man and would be key in "building and strengthening" the King's court.
Charles has long been prepping for the new era and he has Palace "hangers-on" firmly in his eye-line, sources previously claimed.
Dr Sorabji was called to the bar in 2001 after graduating from Oxford, and gaining a masters of laws degree from UCL before returning to Oxford to complete his PhD.
It has long been said that he plans a major shake-up of The Firm, while Queen Consort Camilla is said to be ditching one major, long-standing part of royal life.
Following Her Majesty's death, it is expected that a couple of the ladies-in-waiting will soon retire, as they are well into their 80s, but had wanted to stay serving Queen Elizabeth II to the very end.
As Camilla adapts to her new role as Queen Consort, it seems the former Duchess of Cornwall will do things differently to her mother-in-law.
It has been predicted that she will choose to do away with the role of ladies-in-waiting completely, in a bid to modernise the monarchy.
Marlene Koenig, a historian who has studied the Royal Family for several years, told the Express : "There are some positions that may no longer be filled.
"You wonder if the women, especially Queen Camilla, will use ladies-in-waiting as the Queen did. She's never had, even as the Duchess of Cornwall, an official lady-in-waiting."
Camilla had a former secretary, Angela MacManus, who filled the role of lady-in-waiting but wasn't officially named.
Queen Elizabeth, however, appointed nine ladies-in-waiting from 1953 to 2017, who were mostly "women from aristocratic families".
Historically, ladies-in-waiting did not get paid and were unable to quit or retire from the position, therefore committing to serve the Queen for her lifetime.
