Not to make a new longer Bank holiday weekend.

Good keep the economy going. Id cancel another 2 bank holidays and call them a celebration of work days where we could all go in early and stay late so that will give business a shot in the arm.

Then we can introduce the 1 day weekend once every month. Trial in Eire first to gauge the positives.

I think they'll still do a bank holiday - move the early May one to the Monday after and add a bank holiday to Friday

4 days of celebration

The moaning that went on because there was a bank holiday for the Queens funeral I won’t be surprised if there isn’t any

Au contraire as they will be invited naturally and its a great opportunity to spend time with their grandpa and cousins

Charles isn't well liked, he is in the honeymoon period at the moment, it's only going downhill from here. I fully expect louder voices coming soon on ending the monarchy

Can only hope for covid to come back a do a good job at this point.

The King's staff are set to receive a bonus payment of up to £600 to help them with the cost of living crisis.

The Sun newspaper reported that the bonuses - to be paid on top of this month's salary to workers including cleaners - would amount to tens of thousands of pounds and would come from the King's private income.

Staff earning less than £30,000 will receive a single payment of £600, with staff earning more getting less.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

The BBC understands no taxpayers' money is being used and the bonus is being paid from the King's Privy Purse.

This is the money from a private estate known as the Duchy of Lancaster, which covers 18,000 hectares of land. It includes land in areas including Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as property in central London. The Duchy of Lancaster usually makes a profit of about £20m a year.

That makes sense
in my view.
