King Charles II I's staff are said to be 'livid and shaken' as they're told of redundancies at Clarence House - His Majesty's former official residence before he ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth ll on Thursday, 8 September. His new role as King means that Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort will spend more time at Buckingham Palace, which has long been the official residency of the current monarch, meaning their offices will move there.
According to The Guardian, up to 100 employees - many of them long-term servants - have been given notice that their jobs are at risk, including private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and household staff. They are said to have received notice during the thanksgiving service for the Queen, at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday, which was attended by King Charles, the Queen Consort and other senior members of the royal family.

Whilst many staff at Clarence House must have been aware that a change was coming when Charles became King, it is thought that many believed that their jobs would transition into the King's new household, before the letter arrived from Sir Clive Alderton, the King’s top aide.
A source said: “Everybody is absolutely livid, including private secretaries and the senior team. All the staff have been working late every night since Thursday, to be met with this.
