Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Queen Elizabeth is spending most of her time indoor than completing her normal royal duties. A previous report claimed that Her Majesty may be passing most of her duties to Prince Charles next year. This decision led to speculations that the Queen’s reign may be coming to an end.
Now, a royal expert said that the global health crisis has “practically put Charles on the throne.” Andrew Morton suggested that Queen Elizabeth would not be able to continue her duties while in lockdown. Those who are over 70 are considered to be most at risk of catching severe COVID-19, which means Her Majesty is expected to follow the strict government guidelines.
“The brutal truth is that her reign is effectively over,” he said.
But despite the prolonged lockdown, which is believed to last until 2021, Queen Elizabeth will never abdicate, according to journalist Robert Jobson. He pointed out that he doesn’t believe that Her Majesty would ever abdicate as the Queen has pledged to serve her country for all her life and she had always been true to her words.
However, it was previously reported that Queen Elizabeth already segregated some of her duties to the younger royals even before the coronavirus outbreak. As of the moment, Prince William and Kate Middleton have ramped up their royal duties during the pandemic.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have a lot of pressure on their shoulders right now, but their efforts didn’t go unnoticed at all. In fact, royal fans have continuously praised the couple for their hard work.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are being hailed by royal fans for their “tireless” efforts and “commitment” to the UK during the coronavirus outbreak. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge even played virtual bingo with the residents at the Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff, and many were impressed by them.
An earlier report even claimed that Prince William and Kate Middleton will be “burdened” of the reign sooner than expected. Unlike Queen Elizabeth, who is known as the longest-reigning British monarch and the first one to celebrate a Sapphire Jubilee for achieving her 65th year on the throne in 2017, Prince Charles will not get that much time. The Prince of Wales is 71 years old as of this writing and his mother is still the reigning Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms.
