The ways Charles III's reign maybe different from Elizabeth II's
King Charles became heir to the throne at just three-years-old when his mother was crowned Queen following the death of George VI.
Slimmed-down monarchy One major change we could be set to see during Charles' reign is a much smaller, slimmed down monarchy with fewer key players.Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided their future is not in the UK, while Prince Andrew is not expected to ever return to public life. It was reported earlier this year that Charles was considering opening the monarch's official residence of Buckingham Palace and gardens throughout the year, including when he is in staying there.
Giving away Balmoral? Throughout most of her reign, the Queen would retreat to her Balmoral estate each summer, where she would enjoy countryside walks with her dogs, riding her horses and picnics with her family. Christmas change? One royal tradition that now hangs in the balance following the Queen's death is the traditional Royal Family Christmas at Sandringham.
But Britain in the grip of a spiralling cost of living crisis, the King is said to be acutely aware of the struggles facing ordinary people today. "He has already spoken of his wish to continue his mother’s legacy and this includes continuing to recognise what the people are experiencing day by day.”
