King Charles Feels Like Palace Is Being “Run Like a Hotel” With Random Royals Staying There

• King Charles has been making major changes in Buckingham Palace.

• His Majesty is cutting down staff to get more “value for money.”

• Charles feels the palace is being run like a bad hotel, wants random royals out.

King Charles is on a mission to curb spending in the royal household, and has reportedly instructed his reluctant senior courtiers to make major cuts to an “overstaffed Royal Household.”

“Sure, he lost his temper when nothing changed, when he returned and saw nothing had been done, but eventually they got the message,” a source tells the Daily Mail. “There have been staff cutbacks. That started straight away. The buzz phrase in the Household now is ‘value for money.'”

Charles also has concerns that the palace is “top-heavy” with “too many advisers to advisers” and that it “stops now.”

Meanwhile, His Majesty has told Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie that they have to “pay their own way,” and feels like the palace was “being run like a hotel, and not a very good one” thanks to their subsidized accommodation and a bunch of random royals popping in and out.

“Over time, that is all going to change,” says a source. “Properties will be let at commercial rates going forward and to people outside the family. Where it is in a Palace environment, they will of course be security vetted.”

Another insider adds, “The King isn’t running a housing association for distant relatives,” while yet another says, “This isn’t about financial cuts. It’s about getting value for money and efficiency. Sometimes less truly is more.”
