PRINCE Harry and the Duke of York face being stripped of their key roles as King Charles plans a major shake-up.
The King is considering changing the law so counsellors of the state are only working members of the Royal Family, the Telegraph reports.
King Charles wants to change the current law so other members of the Royal Family can stand in his place, it has been reported
It is claimed the move be a part of a wider shake-up of the duties of working and non-working royals
Currently, the spouse of a monarch and the four adults who are next in line to take the throne can be sent on official business as counsellors of the state, according to the 1937 Regency Act.
That now includes Prince Harry, Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice who are not working members of the Royal Family.
It is understood the King wishes to amend the current standings so that others can step in should the sovereign is abroad or incapacitated.
According to reports, the Earl of Wessex and the Princess Royal could be contenders to take on the role in the King’s absence.
It is claimed the move be a part of a wider shake-up of the duties of working and non-working royals.
King Charles is believed to want to take the relevant steps to have the law changed as soon as he can.
Tweaks to the legislation would need to be enacted by the Houses of Parliament.
When Queen Elizabeth was reigning, roles were take up by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of York.
The Celeb Report has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
Earlier today Charles held an audience with Liz Truss before a reception for world leaders.
His Majesty was pictured laughing with the Prime Minister after she shook his hand and curtseyed to him this afternoon.
It is Ms Truss’ third audience with the King since he became monarch earlier this month.

He and son Prince William also surprised mourners waiting in a five-mile queue to see the Queen lying in state.
Crowds cheered as the Monarch and his son arrived to thank people for waiting up to 26 hours to pay their respects to Her Majesty at Westminster Hall.
At 8pm tonight the country will observe a minute’s silence to remember the Queen.
People have been invited to mark the occasion privately at home, on their doorstep or street, or at community events and vigils.

New details recently emerged how Charles was told his mother was dying in a phone call before “everything fell silent”, according to a royal commentator.
The new monarch and Queen Consort Camilla were at Dumfries House in Scotland when an aide was heard running down the corridor to find them, it is reported.
Camilla was about to record an interview with former US President George Bush’s daughter when Charles was frantically handed the phone, according to Newsweek’s chief royal correspondent Jack Royston.
He was told the Queen‘s health was failing, prompting the pair to make a last-minute dash to Balmoral.

Royal commentator Royston told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: “Charles and Camilla were in Dumfries House.
“Camilla was actually about to record an interview with Jenna Bush Hager, who said she heard footsteps running in the hallway.”
