Clarence House employees were angry after being told their jobs were at risk now that the former Prince of Wales has become King Charles III, but one former staffer says layoffs should have been expected: 'Trust me, it’s not a shock for the household.'
That was Grant Harrold, a former butler to King Charles III when he was still the Prince of Wales, telling the BBC it should come as no surprise that many of the new monarch’s household staff members might not be joining him at Buckingham Palace.
The Guardian reported that employees at the royal residence next to St. James’s Palace were “livid” and “shaken” after receiving a letter from the king’s top aide on Monday, while the U.K. was still in an official state of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II. “‘When I joined, I was fully aware that if [Queen Elizabeth] passed I would be redundant because my boss is no longer the Prince of Wales.’”
There are just over 100 full-time staffers at Clarence House, according to the royal residence’s annual review from earlier this year. Those notified of possible layoffs on Monday, according to the Guardian report, include the staffs of the finance, communications and private secretaries’ offices, as well as the household staff. The 31 employees in the private secretaries’ office include private secretaries, administrators, researchers and equerry staff.
