Abstract
- The British monarchy is facing a shortage of working royals, which is impacting their ability to attend events and engagements across the country. Currently, the monarchy is missing three key members due to health issues and personal reasons. Over the past decade, the number of domestic engagements undertaken by royals has declined by about 40%. This shortage has raised concerns among royal watchers, who believe that new working royals are needed to maintain the level of royal appearances seen in the past. However, critics argue that most visits involve little actual work and could be done by a smaller number of royals at a lower cost. Despite this, a YouGov poll found that the majority of Britons still support the monarchy. [Extracted from the article]
