The monarch, 95 years old, has reduced its many official activities, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and secondly, due to medical recommendation due to his advanced age.

Majesty Ingrid Seward. “He firmly believes that in such a large House of Windsor there is too much opportunity for things to go wrong. And it’s too expensive.

“The question is do you start by deciding how many endorsements and commitments there should be, and then determine how many people it takes to get them done, or do you decide how many people there should be, which will dictate how many commitments and endorsements they can take on,” a source told The Telegraph.

The British media believe that Carlos and Camilla Parker Bowles, his former lover and now wife, they will move to Buckingham Palace in his reign. In addition, it is estimated that the iconic palace dating from 1703, and currently under renovation, will be open to the public throughout the year.
