Many royal staffers were upset when they found out that they could lose their jobs after King Charles III moved his operations into Buckingham Palace. According to The Guardian, after Queen Elizabeth II died, over 100 of King Charles’ employees at his former residence, Clarence House, were given notices of redundancies. Charles’ top aide, Sir Clive Alderton, shared the news in an official letter: “It is…expected that the need for the posts principally based at Clarence House, whose work supports these areas will no longer be needed.”
What’s more, they were reportedly told while they were still mourning Queen Elizabeth. A source told The Guardian, “Everybody is absolutely livid, including private secretaries and the senior team.” Many thought they’d continue to work with Charles in his new household and felt they weren’t given enough notice that they could be let go during his transition to King. “All the staff have been working late every night since Thursday, to be met with this. People were visibly shaken by it,” the insider added.
A former butler of King Charles explained to the BBC that those employees shouldn’t have been shocked by this news because it comes with the job. Grant Harrold told the outlet, “When I joined, I was fully aware that if the Queen passed I would be redundant because my boss is no longer the Prince of Wales.”
