King Charles is considering breaking royal tradition to hand the Princess of Wales an "unprecedented" royal role to help him with official business.
Palace sources believe that Kate, alongside Princess Anne and Prince Edward, could be brought into act as Counsellors of State.
This comes after Charles already broke royal tradition to expand his pool of advisors to five, and gave them the authority to assist if he is out of the country or unwell.
Before Queen Elizabeth II's passing, those positions were held by the then Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Andrew and Prince Harry - and were chosen as they were the next four in line to the throne and were over 18. Prince Phillip also held this position until he retired in 2017, reports the Mirror.
Currently if the Monarch is absent, state business, such as approvals for most appointments and legislation, can be conducted by two Counsellors of State. It has been speculated that Charles will strip Harry and his disgraced brother Andrew from their roles as neither are currently working members of the Royal Family.
However, in a surprising twist, royal sources have confirmed the King will not allow his son and brother to suffer further embarrassment caused by their separate departures from The Firm. Well-placed sources suggest there may now be three additions to the current list of five - the Queen Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of York and Princess Beatrice.
A palace source said: "No one will be excluded. The pool of Counsellors of State will be expanded, this is for purely practical reasons. As the King and Queen Consort are likely to be away, as could the Prince and Princess of Wales, it is only right this is attended to."
