**King Charles Considers Granting New Powers to Prince William and Queen Camilla**

Concern is growing within the UK industry as reports suggest that King Charles is contemplating bestowing new powers upon Prince William and Queen Camilla.

The potential move has sent ripples of unease through fashion brands, with fears of a possible reduction in royal warrants under King Charles' reign as he aims to foster a more eco-conscious ethos across Britain.

Dubbed as “Royal Pancakes,” the latest developments hint at an imminent review of royal warrants for approximately 800 firms that supply goods to the royal household.

Among the select group of companies currently authorized to feature the royal arms in their branding are prestigious names like Burberry and Barber, alongside other exclusive garment manufacturers.

Traditionally, the authority to grant royal warrants rested with the monarch, a responsibility shared by Prince Philip and Charles during his tenure as the Prince of Wales, in conjunction with Queen Elizabeth II.

Presently, only King Charles holds this power, although speculations abound that he may delegate similar roles to Queen Camilla and Prince William, akin to the positions previously held by Prince Philip and himself during Queen Elizabeth's reign.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Paul Algar, the Director of International Affairs at the UK Fashion and Textile Association, expressed uncertainties prevailing in the industry regarding the number of grantors that would be designated.

Discussions are underway contemplating whether Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales will assume these responsibilities.

The industry is grappling with concerns surrounding the future of royal warrants, particularly in scenarios where the pool of grantors diminishes.

Algar emphasized the industry's confidence in King Charles' inclination towards scrutinizing the sustainable and ethical practices of businesses eligible for royal warrants more rigorously than before.

The monarch's profound interests in the built environment, agriculture, animal husbandry, and farming are expected to shape his approach towards awarding royal warrants.

Echoing similar sentiments, Helen Brocklebank, CEO of Walpole, an organization representing Britain's luxury goods sector, expressed her anticipation that King Charles would uphold the stringent values observed during the issuance of warrants for the Prince of Wales' household.

Brands underwent a thorough sustainability assessment periodically to retain their warrants, reflecting a commitment to environmental consciousness.

However, existing warrant holders are apprehensive about the potential repercussions of losing their royal warrants amidst the anticipated restructuring.

The symbolic significance and market impact associated with royal warrants are not lost on these companies, prompting a sense of caution amid the looming changes.
