The 1937 Regency Act allows the four people next in line to the throne and the spouse of a king to be called upon for formal duties as Counsellors of State.

These positions were held by Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Prince Andrew while Queen Elizabeth II was still alive.

Prior to his passing in April 2021 at the age of 99, her husband Prince Philip also served in that capacity.

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are no longer employed by the royal family, thus the Palace has been under pressure to relieve them of their positions.

The King is reportedly aware of the irony of having three non-working Royals ready to take his place if he is absent or incapacitated, according to the Telegraph.

The "law modified as quickly as he can," according to Charles, who may also promote his sister Princess Anne and younger brother Prince Edward to the role.

Although it seems uncommon, calling up Counsellors of State has occurred.
