The offices of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, are apparently already being moved to Buckingham Palace, and dozens of staffers at Clarence House have reportedly been given their “notices of redundancy,” per The Guardian. It happened while Charles and Camilla were at the service of thanksgiving at Edinburgh’s St. Giles Cathedral. The notice from a top aide to the king’s said while no final decisions had been made yet, “the need for the posts principally based at Clarence House, whose work supports these areas will no longer be needed.” He also wrote, “I appreciate that this is unsettling news and I wanted to let you know of the support that is available at this point.” Staff were said to have had no idea that they might lose their jobs.
According to the 2021 to 2022 annual review of Clarence House, there 101 total official staff. It seems unlikely that Prince William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, would move into Clarence House as they moved to Windsor this summer.
