JAKARTA - King Charles III asked the British Parliament on Monday to amend the law to allow his two siblings to act on his behalf when he is absent.
In a statement read out on his behalf at the House of Lords, the upper house of parliament, King Charles III, who was 74 on Monday, requested that the number of State Counselor be increased, to include Princess Anne and her youngest sister Prince Edward.
The advisers, who could act on behalf of the king in his absence to carry out various things, except the most important role such as appointing a new prime minister, were elected to the king and the next four adults on the throne.
That means, apart from Charles III's wife Queen Camilla and her eldest son and Prince William's heirs, those on the list are Prince Harry's younger son, Prince Andrew's younger brother and Andrew's eldest daughter, Princessest.
The list sparked criticism from some commentators, as neither Andrew nor Harry any longer played the official role of the kingdom.
Andrew was removed from most of his title and removed from royal duties, due to his friendly scandal with the late US financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. He later settled a lawsuit in the US, in which he was accused of sexual harassment.
Meanwhile, Harry resigned from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, United States with his wife Meghan.
"To ensure the efficiency of sustainable public services when I am not present, such as when I perform official tasks abroad, I emphasize, I would be very satisfied if parliament agreed to the number of people who might be called up to act as State Counselors, plus to include my sisters and men," the king said in a statement. November 15th.
The changes will require parliament to change the provisions of the Regency Act.
