Hundreds of employees are losing their jobs in British throne

Hundreds of workers are going to lose their jobs after King Charles III ascends the British throne. During the reign of Prince Charles III, they were engaged in maintenance work at his residence. News from NBC. A leading UK trade union has described the move as 'heartless'.

Charles III took over as king after the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday (September 8). Charles has lived at Clarence House as Prince Charles for decades. There he lived and held office with his wife Camilla. But after taking over as king, he will now leave Clarence House for Buckingham Palace. As a result, Clarence House staff will be out of a job.

Hundreds of workers, some of whom have worked there for decades, have been told they could lose their jobs, the UK's Public and Commercial Services Union said in a statement.

"We believe the decision to declare redundancy in the Royal Household at a time of national mourning is not a heartless one," the statement said.

This is a significant majority of families and many of these employees will be the same people who have supported the new king so wholeheartedly during this time of mourning, the notice said. Redundancy notice has been given just as a thank you for working extremely hard in recent days.

Mark Serotka, general secretary of the union, said in a statement that some changes were expected across the royal family.

Calling for an immediate end to the unnecessary process, he said it was unclear what kind of staff Prince William, the new Prince of Wales, would need.
