Prince Charles to Reshape Monarchy When He Becomes King – Report

When Prince Charles becomes king, he won’t be like his mum. The heir apparent of Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly ready to reshape the role of the monarchy and will make “heartfelt interventions” in national life, which is in contrast to the Queen’s indifference on public affair.

In contrast to the Queen, Prince Charles is outspoken about social and political causes close to his heart. His meddling ways has become either an inspiration to some, or a nuisance to others who firmly believe the monarchy should not interfere with national issues.

This wouldn’t change when the Queen retires and he takes over the position. According to his alleged allies, he will continue to meddle about the issues that matter to him, such as farming and the environment.

“He will be true to his beliefs and contributions,” a source told the Guardian. “Rather than a complete reinvention to become a monarch in the mould of his mother, the strategy will be to try and continue with his heartfelt interventions, albeit checking each for tone and content to ensure it does not damage the monarchy. Speeches will have to pass the following test: would it seem odd because the Queen wouldn’t have said it or would it seem dangerous?”

The Prince of Wales has courted controversy in the past by lobbying politicians over certain issues. Also, in the next few days, a historic battle in London’s Supreme Court is expected to take a resolution. If the Government loses, the letters the prince sent to ministers will be made public. The secret “black spider memos” are said to reveal his disagreement with government policy.

“The prince understands the need to be careful about how he expresses concerns or asks questions, but I do think he will keep doing exactly that,” organic farmer Patrick Holden, the prince’s friend and adviser on sustainability, added to the publication. “He is part of an evolving monarchy that is changing all the time. He feels these issues are too serious to ignore.”

A Clarence House spokeswoman refuses to comment on the speculations, just saying that Prince Charles has devoted “most of his working life to helping individuals and organisations to make a difference for the better – and not for his personal gain.”

Queen Elizabeth II has ruled the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries since 1952. Even at age 88, she does not seem to have plans for abdication any time soon.
