After King Charles became monarch in September 2022, both outlets report that Queen Camilla changes a long-standing element of the royal household. The centuries-old tradition of including “ladies-in-waiting” as part of the queen’s retinue is described as having been dispensed with following the change in reign. The reports frame the adjustment as part of how Camilla organizes her court and duties since Charles’s accession. Aside from the broad claim that the ladies-in-waiting tradition is no longer used, the articles provide limited additional detail about the specific replacements, if any, or the reasons for the decision. Neither source offers substantial corroborating information beyond the reported shift in practice. Overall, the accounts agree on the core point: that since September 2022, Camilla’s court arrangements do not include the traditional ladies-in-waiting role that had been part of the practice for generations. The reports present this as a notable departure from historical custom within the queen’s retinue.
