Camilla may bring an end to a royal tradition that was close to the Queen's heart, an expert has claimed.The Queen Consort is expected to do things differently to her mother-in-law, the late Elizabeth II, as part of a move to modernise the monarchy following the accession of King Charles III. One predicted change could be the scrapping of ladies-in-waiting, who have traditionally worked as unpaid personal assistants to the Queen.
Elizabeth II's loyal ladies-in-waiting, who were seen in black frocks and hats paying their final respects during the funeral procession, were not just royal staff but some of her closest companions and friends, having been by her side for decades. Marlene Koenig, a historian who has studied the Royal Family for several years, told the Express: "There are some positions that may no longer be filled.
"You wonder if the women, especially Queen Camilla, will use ladies-in-waiting as the Queen did. She's never had, even as the Duchess of Cornwall, an official lady-in-waiting." Camilla's former secretary, Angela MacManus, filled the role of lady-in-waiting but wasn't officially named.
Both Camilla and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, were given the choice to appoint ladies-in-waiting when they married into the Royal Family, but neither did. Queen Elizabeth, however, appointed nine ladies-in-waiting from 1953 to 2017, who were mostly "women from aristocratic families".The tight-knit team were personally chosen by the late Queen to assist her with day to day tasks, from picking outfits and helping her bathe and dress, to putting together her diary of engagements and arranging private family events, according to The Mirror.

Piers Morgan still can’t help but discuss Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, even while reporting live from Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral procession Monday. He said it particularly upset him that “the last two years of the Queen’s life were constantly having to deal with these two” after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly stepped back from the royal family in January 2020, citing media harassment and racist tensions within the monarchy. “Of course they’re not a racist family, and I think that Meghan Markle, by saying that, endorsed by Harry, managed to smear the entire royal family,” Morgan said, reporting for Fox News.
