King Charles\u2019s King\u2019s Foundation has been quietly paying Queen Camilla\u2019s sister, Annabel Elliot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to a new report in the Sunday Times, \u201cThe King\u2019s Foundation pays Annabel Elliot, an interior designer and antiques dealer who is Queen Camilla\u2019s younger sister, for \u2018branding\u2019 and \u2018retail\u2019 consultancy. The charity is paying for her \u2018expertise and support on a range of projects\u2019 after William moved to remove Elliot, 77, from the payroll of the Duchy of Cornwall, which he oversees as Prince of Wales.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elliot\u2019s previous retainer with the Duchy of Cornwall ended when Charles ascended to the throne in 2022 and Prince William took over the Duchy of Cornwall; the decision was \u201cnot a reflection on her work,\u201d a source said in 2024.<\/p>\n

During King Charles\u2019s time as Duke of Cornwall, the Duchy disclosed its work with Elliot. However the King\u2019s Foundation did not disclose her work in the same way. The Times reports, \u201cThe charity would not say why. A senior trustee also said they were never told about the arrangement, which they said was a surprise as it was their job to know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst we would not comment on the detail of individual consultancy agreements, we can confirm that Mrs Elliot provides design expertise to our retail and brand team across product and commercial partnerships. This arrangement is not secret,\u201d the King\u2019s Foundation said in a statement. They added, \u201cAs previously reported publicly, Mrs Elliot is a longstanding and valued consultant at the foundation and her experience across interior design provides expertise and support on a range of projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
