“Don’t underestimate Prince Charles”: heir to the throne gradually takes over and immediately hires the ‘enemy’ | Royalty

The British Royal Palace has the job description of Queen Elizabeth II transformed for the first time in ten years. This was stated in the annual report of the British royal family. The list of Elizabeth’s duties included opening the parliamentary year, appointing the Prime Minister, and making and receiving state visits. The updated version now only states that the Queen’s role “includes a range of parliamentary and diplomatic duties” and that she only “hosts” visiting heads of state. It is not illogical that her son and successor, Prince Charles, takes over those tasks from her. As a result, he is increasingly coming to the fore. Charles already opened the parliamentary year on behalf of his mother in May and then also delivered the Speech from the Throne. It was the first time in 59 years that the now 96-year-old queen was absent. The Prince of Wales also makes all foreign visits. Elizabeth, who has struggled with shaky health in recent months, is expected to stop traveling.
