In a surprising turn of events, a royal biographer has suggested that Princess Anne should assume a significant royal role in place of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
The current positions of councillors of state, who can undertake some of the Queen’s duties at her request in the event of temporary illness, are currently held by the Duke of York, Prince Charles, and his sons, William and Harry.
However, with two out of the four individuals no longer working royals, Phil Dampier, a renowned royal biographer and journalist, argues that Princess Anne should be awarded the councillors of state position instead.
Expressing his opinion on Twitter to his 14.2k followers, Mr. Dampier wrote, “So wrong that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are councillors of state.
The law should be changed so that Princess Anne becomes one.”
Alongside his message of support for the Princess Royal, he shared an image of an article published in the Sunday Telegraph, highlighting Harry’s decision to remain domiciled in Britain to serve as one of the four councillors of state.
Princess Anne has consistently been lauded for her tireless work ethic, earning praise from royal fans who consider her an inspiration and a credit to the royal family.
Reacting to the news, several royal enthusiasts took to social media to voice their opinions, with many calling for the removal of Prince Andrew and Prince Harry as councillors of state.
One user stated, “Princess Anne and Prince Edward would make great councillors of state.
They are dutiful, loyal to the monarch, the UK, and the Commonwealth.
There are no two better candidates.”
Another echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the need for Princess Anne to assume the role.
Support for this suggestion extends beyond royal enthusiasts.
Angela Levin, another respected royal biographer, retweeted a post advocating for the removal of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew as councillors of state.
This development follows Harry and Meghan’s decision to renew the lease on their £2.4m UK home, which they had previously paid for the renovations of.
The renewal allows Harry to maintain a UK base and remain eligible to serve as one of the Queen’s four councillors of state due to his domicile in Britain.
In light of these discussions, American royal expert Kinsey Schofield has shed light on Harry’s legal challenge against the UK government, suggesting that it reflects his adoption of an American attitude.
Speaking to GB News presenter Mark Dolan, Schofield stated, “What I wanted to say about this is I really feel like Harry and Meghan have inherited this American attitude.
This ‘our way or the highway’ situation…
They are Americans, and they don’t understand the proper way to communicate and they don’t understand that element of respect.”
Schofield further added, “It’s just we are not as respectful and kind as decent as your people.
I hate to break it to you, Mark, but you guys are much better human beings than we are.
But it seems like he has inherited the attitude, the American attitude of ‘it’s our way or the highway,’ and I do feel like he probably did not mean it to come off that way.”
While security expert Richard H acknowledges the complexity of the situation, he emphasizes the substantial costs associated with personal protection officers from the Metropolitan Police, estimating it to be around £100,000 per year.
The proposal for Princess Anne to assume a major royal role in place of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew has sparked intense debate among royal enthusiasts and experts alike.
