Princess Anne and Prince Edward are proposed as extra counsellors of state who can act on behalf of the KingKing Charles has begun the process of increasing the number of royals who can stand in for the monarch for official duties - proposing Princess Anne and Prince Edward as additions.But two of these are Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, who are no longer available as "working royals".
In the House of Lords, Lord Parker of Minsmere delivered a statement from the King which called for Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, and Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, to be added as extra counsellors of state. This will mean amending the Regency Act, which at present stipulates that counsellors are the spouse of the monarch plus the next four royals in succession to the throne, who are over the age of 21.
