Prince William and Kate Middleton have been ramping up their royal engagements during the coronavirus lockdown while Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles remain in isolation. Those who are over 70 are considered to be most at risk of catching severe COVID-19, so the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, being the future King and Queen consort, are taking over the obligations.

However, a new report revealed that Prince William and Kate Middleton will take even more royal duties. Royal expert Katie Nicholl claims that Queen Elizabeth “cannot go on forever.”

"The Palace is keen to play down rumors of the Queen retiring or even scaling back. But the reality is that we have seen Prince Charles and the Cambridges stepping up to the plate more now than ever before," she said. "We're seeing them letting their guard down and that is a result of what we are going through. We are a nation in the middle of a crisis and it's times like this we turn to the royal family for support, comfort, and hope. And, I think the Cambridges have really stepped up to the plate providing a nice dose of entertainment for us, and of course, it’s a real treat for royal fans seeing so much of the Cambridge children.”

Queen Elizabeth has been a huge inspiration to the Britons for decades, and most especially during the coronavirus pandemic. Her Majesty has shown strength and stability to the public. She also earned more praise with the speech she delivered in early April.

"It’s uplifting for Britain, particularly for royalists, to see what the future of the royal family is going to look like,” she continued. “The royal family has gone to great lengths not to be seen to be aloof or distant or unrelatable. The queen is very aware that the role of the royal family during a national crisis like this is to be seen, to be able to support her people, and she's having to do this through a digital platform and it's quite incredible that at the age of 94, she's embracing that.”

Meanwhile, a previous report claimed that Queen Elizabeth may be passing most of her duties to Prince Charles next year. This decision led to speculations that Her Majesty’s reign may be coming to an end.

But royal expert Robert Jobson pointed out that he doesn’t believe that Queen Elizabeth would ever abdicate. He shared that Her Majesty has pledged to serve her country for all her life and she had always been true to her words.
