Here's Why You Won't See Much Of The Royal Family For The Next 6 Weeks
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING LONDON — King Charles won’t be out and about much over the next six weeks — and it’s not because of his ongoing cancer treatments. Shortly after U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called an early parliamentary election for July 4, Buckingham Palace said that all members of the royal family were canceling most public engagements until after the vote to avoid doing anything that might divert attention from the campaign. While the king’s role in government is largely ceremonial, it’s bound up by traditions that embody the way royal powers were gradually transferred to Parliament over the last 800 years. Buckingham Palace spelled it out soon after Sunak’s announcement, announcing that members of the royal family would postpone all engagements that “may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign.’’ That meant the king on Friday ditched trips to a Bentley car factory and a community center helping people who are struggling financially.
