Queen Camilla has been left speechless after the latest action taken by King Charles III at the palace. In the midst of his battle with cancer, the British monarch keeps his mind occupied by dedicating himself to reorganizing his reign. Without a doubt, the situation wasn't what he desired after inheriting the crown from his mother, but his goal is for his reign to be remembered.
To achieve this, he is making a series of decisions that are causing quite a stir in the halls of Buckingham. Queen Camilla has no choice but to accept the new rules, aware that Charles is doing it for the good of the institution.
Queen Camilla is left in shock after King Charles III's latest move
King Charles III balances his battle with the illness with his institutional commitment. These three years of reign haven't been easy to carry out given his personal situation. Nevertheless, this hasn't prevented him from making certain decisions aimed at ensuring his reign with Queen Camilla is remembered.
The latest decision Charles III has made is to eliminate the rule that required wearing white on the private tennis court. Queen Camilla was left speechless by this move, as it means eliminating a century-old rule established by George V in 1919. Although it may seem like a small gesture, they state that it is "very representative of the more relaxed approach Charles is adopting."
This change responds to a clear desire to modernize the royal institution, moderate protocol, and offer comfort and freedom of personal style. The elimination of that century-old rule represents a symbolic relaxation that keeps respect for tradition without unnecessary rigidity.
King Charles III's stated goal is to allow family members, guests, and staff to choose whatever attire they wish on the court. This decision fits into a broader vision of modernization driven by King Charles III, who has already implemented other internal reforms. Queen Camilla supports the steps her husband is taking, thus helping to improve the institution's image.
Queen Camilla silently supports King Charles III's new rules
The implicit message is clear: King Charles III wants a more accessible and modern monarchy, where protocol isn't a barrier. In that narrative, Queen Camilla positions herself as a discreet and elegant ally who accompanies that transformation.
It's no coincidence that she knows this new approach could benefit her in the eyes of public opinion, which is always so critical of her. Although she doesn't participate directly in royal tennis matches, this relaxation of protocol helps project a more approachable and updated royal couple. Since her coronation, Queen Camilla and the king have expressed a joint desire to show naturalness and warmth in every appearance.
It also shows a respect for the environment that helps give the monarchy a more committed vision. In fact, another rule he has adopted has been to adjust the temperature of Buckingham's heated pool. From now on, to reduce electricity consumption, he has lowered the temperature.
For Queen Camilla, this move by King Charles III has indirect implications for her public image. Without having to make major decisions, Camilla directly benefits from all the changes being carried out.
Although these changes haven't been free from controversy. The most purist don't look favorably on the modification of century-old rules and believe that royal protocol shouldn't be altered so easily. Nevertheless, for many, it's a sign that even the most rigid things can evolve without losing their essence.
