According to royal insiders, King Charles III's plans for the “slimming down” of the monarchy have been scrapped. According to Richard Palmer, Daily Express' Royal Correspondent, King Charles and his advisers have discarded the decision to reduce the number of working royals' number.
A downsized monarchy would cut out many of the people on the public payroll. Last fall, plans emerged speculating that King Charles would cut the royal family to just seven members, all senior working royals. The plan never materialized, and Chernock says that any cutting will likely happen gradually.
It all has to do with a royal currency tradition that dates back to King Charles II (not to be confused with the current king), which states that new monarchs should face in the opposite direction of their predecessors. This means that King Charles must face left, since Queen Elizabeth faced right.
Bells will ring at churches across Australia. While Charles will become King Charles III immediately after the Queen's death, members of the Accession Council will meet to officially proclaim him King at St James's Palace at 10am on the day after the Queen's passing.

Professor Holden said if there was not an appetite for reform towards digital currency in the next few years, he believed Australia would be functionally cashless by 2030, reaching the same stage as Sweden is now.

Succeeding Queen Elizabeth II is her eldest son, Charles, who is now King Charles III. In Britain's monarchy, the heir ascends to the throne immediately upon the death of their predecessor. A formal ceremony and coronation are held later.
The Queen doesn't normally carry money with her because, let's be real, she doesn't have to. The British government, plus a few of her own private investments, cover the cost of running the British monarchy. But there's one day a week when she makes an exception.
