Meanwhile, the decision to inform King Charles’s personnel of their impending layoffs during the official time of mourning has been criticized as “nothing short of callous” by a civil service trade union.

To that effect, the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) general secretary Mark Serwotka said:

“While some changes across the households were to be expected, as roles across the royal family change, the scale and speed at which this has been announced is callous in the extreme.

Least of all because we do not know what staffing the incoming Prince of Wales and his family might need.”

Also, the union, which represents some palace employees, he continued, was striving to guarantee that staff have

“full job security” adding that it kept up its support for other royal employees who were worried that this revelation would “threaten their futures at this already trying time.”

Background

Meanwhile, the Guardian’s disclosures about the management of redundancies at Clarence House stunned some people in the audience outside Buckingham Palace on Monday night.

Christhell Hobbs, a 57-year-old podiatrist who frequently attends royal occasions, stated:

“I think it’s sad. They have families they have to support.”

The Queen’s coffin arrived on Tuesday evening, and Hobbs, who left Fairlight, near Hastings in East Sussex, first thing in the morning to witness the event, continued,

“Many of them have put in many good years of service, and suddenly they’re told, “We don’t want you. You have to approach this with humanity.

Also, East London native and 22-year-old politics student Korina Massicat, who is enrolled at Durham University, concurred:

“[These are] people who have been working hard and are committed and loyal. Nobody should be fired simply because someone passes away.

Interestingly enough, even after seeing the news online, many people in the crowd didn’t believe it.
