Amidst the recent revelations of health challenges faced by Kate Middleton and King Charles, the British royal family is left with a mere nine working members, most of whom are advanced in age.

The absence of Kate, aged 42, who disclosed her cancer diagnosis and commencement of chemotherapy, and Charles, aged 75, who revealed his own battle with cancer earlier this year, highlights the limited number of active royals available to fulfill their duties.

Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s withdrawal from their roles as working royals in 2020, the temporary stepping back of Kate and Charles further diminishes the operational capacity of the royal family.

This new development emphasizes the vulnerability of the monarchy, with only a small group of aging working royals remaining to carry out official responsibilities.

The majority of these individuals are in their 70s and 80s, surpassing the retirement age in the UK, which stands at 66.

As the focus shifts towards the well-being and recovery of Kate and Charles, a comprehensive overview of the remaining working royals becomes pertinent.
