The Queen is preparing to retire soon and Prince Charles will take on the ‘Prince Regent’ role.
Prince of Wales talked to his father, Prince Philip, about the continuing fallout from the disastrous TV interview of his brother amid reports he’s preparing to take over once the Queen turns 95.
Prince Charles’ key role in ‘retiring’ Prince Andrew from public life has increased speculations that he is preparing to adopt ‘Prince Regent’ role, which would see him control daily royal affairs while the Queen remains monarch.
“The scandal surrounding Andrew and Epstein gave Charles an opportunity to step in to show that he can run The Firm. No one is bigger than the institution of the Royal Family. Not even Andrew, the Queen’s favourite son,” a royal source said to The Sun.
“Charles recognised that and acted decisively — like the king he may well soon be. This was the moment when Charles stepped up as Prince Regent, the Shadow King.”
The Queen already started reducing her public engagements, attending 332 engagements in 2016 to 283 last year. Meanwhile, Prince Charles attended 507.
Prince Charles, 71, recently went to the Queen’s Norfolk estate and visited Prince Philip.
The 98-year-old spends most of his time at Wood Farm and it understood that Charles will seek his father’s counsel about what the family should do next.
It is also understood that Charles has no plans to meet with his brother even though it is important for the issue to be discussed.
