What does the letter that was given to staff say?
Dozens of Clarence House staff have been put on notice as their offices close King Charles and the Royal Consort are moving to Buckingham Palace after the Queen’s death, according to the Guardian.
In particular, up to 100 staff at the King’s former official residence, including some who had worked there for decades, were given notice that they could lose their jobs – even as they themselves were feverishly working on preparations for Charles’ ascension to the throne.
Private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and household staff are among those who received a notice during the thanksgiving service for the Queen, at St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh on Monday 13 September.
Many staff had assumed they would blend into the King’s new household, claiming they were given no indication of what was coming until the letter arrived from Sir Clive Alderton, the King’s top aide.
The letter, which was given to staff and obtained by the Guardian newspaper, said among other things that because of Charles’ position, Clarence House will close and several posts will no longer be needed. Of course, the letter made it clear that no final decisions have yet been made as a consultation period must first be completed, which will begin after the state funeral next Monday. At the same time, it was announced that the people who have a “direct relationship with Karolos and Camila and offer them personal support and advice” will not lose their jobs.
However, the staff who are being made redundant are expected to be offered alternative positions in other royal households and will be given help to find new jobs, and will also receive monetary compensation.
However, it is noted that despite King Charles appearing to be closing Clarence House for good, it has not yet been confirmed whether he and his wife will move to Buckingham Palace. However, it is rumored that the monarch is not particularly fond of the palace, so he will probably use it for official purposes, such as receptions, audiences, investitures and banquets.
