Prince William has taken Annabel Elliot, Queen Camilla’s sister, off the salary of the Duchy of Cornwall administration. This has caused some people in the British royal family to scratch their heads. Annabel was an interior designer who had worked for the estate since 2005, creating beautiful vacation cabins and royal rooms.
The 75-year-old man is retiring at the same time that William is starting to run the farm in his own way. The Duchy of Cornwall is a private land that helps fund the public and personal activities of the royal family. It focuses on sustainability and community benefits. One of the best things about the estate is that it focuses on ecotourism and doing things that are good for the earth.
People on the Internet have had different responses to William’s choice. Some people have liked the move, but others have wondered what Annabel’s part was and why she was removed at that time. “Charles put her on the payroll, she wouldn’t have been interior designer if it wasn’t for her sister, and I’m glad Prince William took her off payroll,” a user said.
Some people have been shocked by Annabel’s attitude from the start. Someone else wrote, “So he should; didn’t know she was working for the company.” Some people have also asked what Annabel’s job is in the royal family. One person said, “She is now over the age of retirement and is obviously helping her sister with other things.” She is done with her work. Not a surprise! Once more, the media is making trouble.
Annabel is no longer on the royal salary, but she is still involved in royal projects, such as the recent renovations at Balmoral. However, her business, Annabel Elliot Limited, is said to have been having money problems lately.
The news comes at a time when William and his brother, Prince Harry, are having a rough time because Harry doesn’t trust William’s friendship with Queen Camilla. The relationships of the royal family are still changing. William is taking on more duties, such as his new job as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.
There is one thing that is clear about these changes: Prince William is leaving his mark on the throne. It will be interesting to see how these choices affect the royal family in the future. Because he has more duties and the family is changing, William’s actions will be closely watched over the next few months.
