Camilla is expected to break royal tradition which elizabeth ii loved

As the new Queen Consort, it has been suggested that Camilla may opt to scrap a long-standing tradition adored by Her late Majesty. In a conscious effort to remodel the monarchy, royal

experts have predicted that the 75-year-old may do away with ladies-in-waiting. The women, known as the "Head Girls" played a key role in Queen Elizabeth II's life, with many

becoming close companions and trusted friends. The head of state reportedly handpicked her close-knit team, selecting a cohort of women capable of carrying out administrative tasks,

organising events, managing the Queen's wardrobe, and helping the monarch to dress and undress. They fulfilled their roles out of personal loyalty to the Queen, with companionship one

of their most important duties. The ladies-in-waiting traditionally worked as unpaid personal assistants to the Queen. Therefore, they usually came from wealthy families and as such were

able to work without pay. Prior to her death, the Queen's ladies-in-waiting were Dame Mary Morrison, Lady Elizabeth Leeming, Susan Rhodes, Dame Annabel Whitehead and Lady Susan Hussey.

In December 2021 two of the Queen's closest ladies in waiting passed away, Fortune FitzRoy, the Duchess of Grafton, aged 101, and Lady Farnham, aged 90. DON'T MISS: Upon marrying

into the Royal Family, both Camilla and Kate were given the opportunity to appoint ladies-in-waiting, but neither of them did. Following the death of the late monarch, it seems unlikely the

Queen Consort will change her mind. The Queen followed the tradition for 70 years, but both Camilla and Kate Middleton have seemingly rejected it. While she's not technically the Queen

Regnant, Camilla will still be expected to carry out some of the duties fans saw Elizabeth II doing. READ MORE: DIANA ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO 'LET RIP & HAVE FUN' UNLIKE CAMILLA -

CLAIM But while Camilla will maintain some of the late Queen's longstanding traditions, she's expected to ditch ladies-in-waiting that were particularly close to Elizabeth

II's heart. It could cause controversy amongst some of the more traditional royalists in the UK. Elizabeth II's loyal ladies-in-waiting were seen in black frocks and hats paying

their final respects during the funeral procession. Queen Elizabeth appointed nine ladies-in-waiting from 1953 to 2017, who were mostly "women from aristocratic families". A couple

of the women are expected to soon retire following Her Majesty's death, as they are aged in their 80s but wanted to stay serving the Queen until the end. The ladies-in-waiting would

also send notes of thanks to the public from the Queen. Meanwhile, King Charles is thought to be "slimming down" the monarchy and even considering whether Balmoral should be opened

up to the public in the future. The castle where his beloved mother died could be turned into a museum dedicated to her, according to reports.
