The royal expert told the publication: "Only four working royals are under 70 and this is likely to present a problem and lead to cuts in the number of royal engagements until George, Charlotte and Louis are able to play their part in royal activities."

King Charles has been keen on a slimmed-down monarchy for decades, and he also made a promise about it when he became the monarch last year.

According to reports, King Charles plans to reduce the monarchy to a team of just seven key members.

Meanwhile, Fitzwilliams heaped praised on Princess Anne, the Princess Royal for her contribution and devotion to the monarchy.
