His siblings the Earl of Wessex and the Princess Royal can now take up the role. Previously, just Princes Harry and Andrew had the status. Mr Fitzwilliams told the Mirror: "This is a very good example of King Charles making an extremely sensible necessary decision, very early in his reign and the fact it's announced on his birthday is no accident. "The news breaking on his birthday says it all. "Since Andrew is in disgrace and that is most unlikely to change, the situation had been perilous. He continued: "Public opinion is solidly against Andrew and there is absolutely no chance according to all reports. 'The king is absolute on the issue and so is Prince William. That is that." Royal expert Angela Levin also told The Sun that Prince Harry will feel snubbed by the change. Writing to the House of Lords, King Charles said he would be "most content" if the number of Counsellors of State "be increased to include my brother and sister, the Princess Royal and Earl of Wessex." The statement read: "To ensure continued efficiency of public business when I'm unavailable, such as while I'm undertaking official duties overseas, I confirm that I would be most content should Parliament see fit for the number of people who may be called upon to act as counsellors of State under the terms of the Regency acts 1937 to 1963 to be increased to include my sister and brother, the Princess Royal,){kind=link}
