The Princess Royal has said she believes a slimmed down monarchy is “not a good idea”.

In a rare interview, she told Canadian news network CBC News the idea of paring back the institution was originally proposed “when there were a few more people around”.

“It doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I would say. I’m not quite sure what else we can do,” she said in the interview at St James’s Palace in London.
