"the Counsellors of State shall be the wife or husband of the Sovereign (if the Sovereign is married), and the four persons who, excluding any persons disqualified under this section, are next in the line of succession to the Crown"
It doesn't mention the names of the next four people. And if they simply expanded to say six people, these would be Princess Eugenie and the Earl of Wessex. They could say the next four ´working royals´, but I suppose they would then have to define working royals. Thus I suppose the most likely change is to name the Earl of Wessex and the Princess Royal for them to be included.
King Charles would like his sister and youngest brother to be included.
