In a bold move, King Charles III has decided to put more money into the
Royal Mews, the entity responsible for all road travel arrangements for His Majesty and other members of The Firm. It houses and maintains historic coaches, carriages and cars and is considered one of the top working stables in the world.

Queen Elizabeth II, who was known for her frugality, neglected the Royal Mews' official uniforms. "The late queen, ever frugal, refused to buy new scarlet and gold livery worn on state occasions," royal expert
Ephraim Hardcastle said. "Instead staff, mainly from the Royal Mews, had to be found who fitted the existing outfits."

King Charles III is now investing in the Royal Mews. "The king has reversed the policy. New scarlet and gold outfits have finally been commissioned for the Royal Mews wardrobes. Charles has discovered he has been lumbered with the expense of providing larger sizes," Ephraim Hardcastle said before pointing out that "Victorian flunkies were smaller and less portly back in the day."
