King Charles' plans to slim down monarchy with just seven key members

King Charles' monarchy could be considerably slimmed down, with as little as seven members according to experts. Plans for the reshuffling of the British monarchy would take place under the title Operation Golden Orb.

This comes after the Queen died at Balmoral yesterday, aged 96, leaving the UK in a period of official mourning. The Prince of Wales is now King, having acceded to the throne immediately on the death of his mother.

The new King's plans could see a smaller number of active royals and may also see official residences including sections of Buckingham Palace - and even Balmoral - opened to the public, reports the Mirror.
