As the UK celebrates one year since the reign of King Charles III, the future of the monarchy is an important and controversial topic. Opinions about the monarchy vary between generations, with recent polls showing that around a third of citizens have a negative view of the institution.

The rules governing the succession are detailed, ensuring clarity about who will succeed Charles. Although his second son and daughter-in-law have stepped down from their royal duties, they have not stepped down and remain in line to the throne, as have their children. Princesses Anne and Catherine recently opened up about King Charles, sharing surprising insights. For years, they have focused on their royal roles and avoided family controversies, but as public scrutiny has increased, they have chosen to speak out.

This has sparked discussions about their evolving relationship with their father. Prince William, the eldest son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana, has set his sights on modernising the monarchy. He has expressed his desire for a more streamlined approach to the royal family, perhaps reflecting how he believes the institution should adapt after the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. However, the reaction has been mixed; while some tabloids have praised his comments, others have not.

His efforts to appear more casual were on display during his trip to South Africa, where his outfit sparked debate on social media. In London, Prince William and Catherine are preparing for a major solo event while his wife prepares for her Christmas concert. He attended an event at the Royal Geographical Society, discussing plans for a future visit to Oman, although he will not be attending an expedition in January.

Princess Anne remains a stalwart in the royal family, known for her dedication. Unlike other retired royals, she rarely strays from her duties. She recently shared her thoughts on the challenges facing King Charles as he adjusts to the role of king. Their relationship is close and she is not shy about discussing the issues facing the family or the future of the monarchy.

Debate continues over the popularity of the monarchy versus calls for its abolition, a division that has grown since Charles became king. His coronation was significantly smaller and quicker than Queen Elizabeth's due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. Taxpayers paid £72 million for the event, significantly less than the cost of the late Queen’s funeral. A significant portion of this cost was related to police work, as large crowds gathered in London for the ceremony.
