Mounting scandals and criticism place the monarchy under fresh pressure
King Charles and Queen Camilla are facing increasing challenges that risk shaking the foundations of the monarchy and raising doubts about its future stability.
Since taking the throne in 2022, Charles’s reign has been anything but calm. His strained relationship with Harry continues to cast a long shadow, as the Duke of Sussex’s public revelations fuel debate over unity within the royal family.
The King’s own choices have also been questioned. Renting out Windsor properties to tourists has been criticised as a break from tradition, while his occasional public outbursts have drawn unflattering headlines.
Adding to the strain, Prince Andrew’s unresolved scandals remain a source of embarrassment, ensuring the royal household remains under constant scrutiny.
These controversies have deepened uncertainty about the monarchy’s direction and whether Charles and Camilla can steady its image in the years ahead. For now, the couple—along with the wider royal family—remain under unprecedented pressure to protect the institution’s reputation.
