King Charles will be crowned next month. However, a new report claimed that the institution is on the brink of collapse.
King Charles Warned About The Future Of Monarchy?
The members of the royal family should support King Charles because the institution is reportedly at risk of being abolished.
A report claimed "the Royal Family as we know it is on the brink of collapse and risks abolishing itself by stealth," according to Express.
His Majesty has reportedly been warned of the monarchy being "too distant" after a dramatic slump in the number of public engagements.
The number of public engagements made by the royals dropped due to death, scandal, and resignation. There was reportedly a 40% drop in ribbon-cutting and hand-shaking duties in the past decade, according to a study.
The study predicted that if the junior royals don't do more to support King Charles, the monarchy could easily "collapse."
Prince Harry's Memoir Threatened The Monarchy?
Prince Harry released his memoir Spare earlier this year. It contained serious allegations against his family — father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex made serious allegations against the senior members of the royal family, prompting some to question the institution. In a previous interview, Prince Harry said he needed a family, not an institution.
According to Euronews, part of the appeal of the monarchy is the mystique surrounding it. The public doesn't know what happens behind closed doors.
However, that wasn't the case anymore after Prince Harry conducted several interviews and projects revealing family secrets. When Angela Levin, Prince Harry's biographer, was asked about the future of the monarchy following the Duke of Sussex's allegations, she was still positive about it.
She continued:
She added that the late Duke of Edinburgh had foreseen this before and urged the royals to prove to the people that they were at their service. Levin said the royals are hardworking.
