Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has landed himself in "dangerous waters" with King Charles after outlining his plans for Britain, Angela Levin has claimed.
The new PM drafted over 30 new legislations for his incoming Labour government, which were read by the monarch in the state opening of Parliament this week.
Among the proposals, Starmer has pledged to remove hereditary peers from the House of Lords by making all those aged 80 and above step down.
Speaking to GB News, royal biographer Angela Levin claimed the move by the Prime Minister made the King "uncomfortable", sparking a possible rift between the two.

Detailing the events of the King's Speech, Levin told GB News: "Charles did the opening of Parliament, and he had to read out what the Prime Minister was saying for him.
"The Prime minister doesn't want hereditary peers, and King Charles didn't like that, he felt very uncomfortable at that."
Noting Starmer's historic stance on the Royal Family before becoming Britain's premier, Levin revealed that the PM "was against the Royal Family for a very long time".
She added: "We could be in dangerous water here - or on the other hand, it could be something that passes away.

"But it would be very interesting that that's the first thing that the Prime Minister has done in changing the House of Lords."

Sharing her thoughts on the possible fallout of Starmer's decision, host Nana Akua warned that it is "not the right ethos" for a new Prime Minister to make such proposals.
Nana said: "Obviously King Charles being a monarch is a hereditary thing, so if you're getting rid of things that are hereditary, it's not really the right ethos for the country.
"I'm wondering what the direction of travel is with that, because that's a big move to just suddenly do. He needs to hold a referendum or something, if you're going to get rid of things that have been set in Parliament for many years."
Levin agreed, responding: "That's why I'm telling you, because I think that it's very concerning. They seem in a terrible rush at the moment.

"It's good that they've started with loads to do, but actually you really have to think about these things carefully and you have to think what Britain is really like.
"I think it's different if a lot of the people in the House of Lords are sleeping all the time, because quite a few of them do sleep during the day, I don't think they should get their money.
"But to stay that you can't have hereditary peers, I think is much more important than actually people have grasped so far."
