The End of an Era at Buckingham Palace The departure of Sir Clive Alderton, King Charles's most senior aide, marks a significant turning point in the royal household's transition under the new monarch.
After two decades of service, Alderton will step down next May on his 60th birthday. Alderton's tenure has spanned the reigns of both Charles and his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
His resignation raises questions about the future direction of the royal household and how it will adapt to changing British politics and public opinion.
