Yeah, I've never known Palmer to have a scoop, he always reports things after the fact. He even gets out-scooped by the fiction-peddling Daily Fail. Embarrassing.
Like Royal Norway said, there's no way Charles would push his siblings into retirement. Even if we remove sentiment and sibling loyalty, it makes no sense. They would continue to live in very expensive housing, without doing royal duties. What a PR mess that would be for the BRF. Might as well let them continue. They cost the government much less in security than the Wales branch, to boot.
I don't think it was the intention to ever cut off the established working royals. They get grandfathered in. The intent is not to add more. Keep out Beatrice and Eugenie. Then let attrition take over.
