He completely turned his back on the waiting women. His decision marks the end of a century-old tradition of the royal family at Buckingham Palace.
Britain’s Queen Consort Camilla abandoned the ladies-in-waiting, who played an important role in royal life, accompanying the monarch on official occasions. Now they will be replaced by six assistants, who will henceforth be called “queen’s companions.” The Daily Mail writes about it.
Buckingham Palace names the Queen’s consort’s assistants. Among them are Sarah Troughton Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire and second cousin of King Charles, Baroness Jane von Westenholtz, Lady Fiona Lansdowne – interior designer, Lady Catherine Brooke, daughter of Lady Susan Hussey, former lady-in-waiting to the late Queen , Baroness Carlene Chisholm, who previously represented the Conservatives in the House of Lords and Lady Sarah Keswick.
Insiders said they would receive a nominal fee to cover their expenses, as would the ladies-in-waiting.
These women are considered to be one of the oldest and most loyal friends of the royal family.
“The Queen Consort does not want or need ladies-in-waiting, and the Queen’s companions play a different role. They are here to give Her Majesty support and companionship. At the end of a busy day, it is nice to have an old friend by your side. The former ladies-in-waiting will continue to assist His Majesty the King in hosting official events at Buckingham Palace,” the insider said.
It will be remembered that the series about the royal family The Crown, broadcast on Netflix, will show an intimate telephone conversation between King Charles III of Great Britain and Queen Consort Camilla.
