Prince William, alongside his wife, Kate Middleton, has remained in the front and center of the British Monarchy amid the COVID-19 crisis. Despite the need to stay insider Anmer Hall due to the imposed lockdown, they have continued to stay active and "relatable" to the public.
In recent weeks, the Cambridge couple has already carried out several virtual calls and engagements with different individuals. From the workers at the frontlines all the way to kids and new parents, the Duke and Duchess were able to engage with them through online platforms.
Many fans and experts praised Prince William and Kate Middleton for their continued "dedication" to the Monarchy. In fact, some royal commentators even said that the royal couple has been feeling "wholly responsible" as they are the only royals left who can reach out effectively without too many risks.
This is also probably the reason why the majority of the public sees the Duke of Cambridge as the most appropriate person to take the Queen's place in the meantime. As it happens, they want Prince William to become a "Prince Regent" while the British Monarch remains in Windsor Castle, according to Express UK.
Earlier this week, the publication released a poll asking whether the royal born-Prince should become a Regent, given that Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II are "high-risk" individuals to the novel coronavirus. Based on the result, about 76 percent of the total respondents reportedly agreed that this should happen for the sake of the Crown.
As reported, 762 respondents were tallied in just less than 12 hours. 577 of the total number voted "yes" and 176 individuals said "no." Meanwhile, only nine people reportedly said that they are "unsure."
Royal experts and supporters were said to have continued voicing out their opinions about the matter. As pointed out, it makes total sense why the public wants Prince William to take over while his father and grandmother continue to self-isolate in their respective properties.
Queen Elizabeth II just turned 94 a few weeks ago. She remains to be vulnerable to the disease, just like her husband, Prince Philip, who will turn 99 in June.
Also, it has been just confirmed that the British Monarch will remain "indefinitely" in her Berkshire property, as per Mirror UK. No one knows yet when she will leave for Buckingham Palace.
As for Prince Charles, he just recovered from contracting the virus. Even so, he still reportedly needs to take good precautions as he remains to be a "high-risk" individual.
