Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, could be added to the Counsellors of State to help the Queen in slimming down the monarchy, an expert has claimed.The 74 year old, whose husband reportedly offered Prince Harry an "olive branch", could be added earlier as the heir apparent’s spouse instead of having non-working royals removed. According to Gertrude Daly, host of Gert's Royal podcast, the move could mean Kate Middleton could be added earlier as well.
By law, the Counsellors of State include the Sovereign's spouse and the next four people in the line of succession who are over the age of 21. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.

Royal expert Gertrude told the Daily Star: “If they did want to add someone to the Counsellors of State, what may be easier than removing Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, is to include the heir apparent’s spouse as a Counsellors of State. “Since Duchess Camilla is already going to be added, during Prince Charles’s reign, it could make sense to add her now.This would also set a precedence so that Duchess Kate could be added during Prince Charles’ reign, as the then heir apparent’s spouse.” Two or more of the Counsellors of State are appointed by Letter Patent to act in Her Majesty's place in the event that she is unable to undertake official duties on a temporary basis due to illness or absence abroad.
