King Charles III has made his vision for the future of the monarchy clear, preferring to focus on a slimmed-down version that includes himself, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate as the core group of working royals. While family members like Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh still carry out numerous engagements on the calendar, there's one low-key royal who has captured the heart of the British public—and one former royal staffer.
When asked about the idea of a trimmed-down monarchy, former royal butler Paul Burrell—speaking on behalf of Spin Genie—tells Marie Claire not to discount Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, 43, and her husband, Mike Tindall, 45, when it comes to pitching in for royal duties.
