King Charles is moving to make his sister, Princess Anne, and his brother, Prince Edward, eligible to be stand-ins for the king. Right now, four senior royals and Camilla, the Queen Consort, can fill in for the monarch, but the king is hoping to amend the list since two people on it are no longer senior royals.
Under the Regency Act, the sovereign's spouse and the first four adult royals in line to the throne are Counsellors of the State, meaning they can assume most of the sovereign's duties, if needed, according to the Royal Family.
The current list of counsellors is: Charles' wife, Camilla, Queen Consort, his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, his brother, Prince Andrew, his niece, Princess Beatrice.
