data-ylk=\"slk:NewsNation;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NewsNation<\/a>, Lownie said he expects significant changes within the monarchy, describing what he sees as an initiative to \u201cmodernize\u201d the institution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI think we are going to see some reforms being announced,\u201d Lownie said. \u201cMore transparency about records and finances, and I think we may well see some moves to remove titles from anyone who isn\u2019t in an active working role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg

\u2018Slimmed Down\u2019 Monarchy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Lownie\u2019s prediction suggests King Charles could use potential reforms to change his son\u2019s status, the monarch has long been associated with plans to streamline the institution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There certainly appeared to be some evidence of this

considered offering Harry the role of governor-general of Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Myers suggests the idea was floated before the couple ultimately chose to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The proposal is said not to have materialized because a Canadian citizen

md:leading-8 break-words\">Instead, the California-based royal turned his attention to charitable work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just one day after Andrew was taken in for questioning, Harry appeared in a promotional video urging nominations for the 2026 WellChild Awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the <a target=\"_blank\"
