A royal insider has revealed why the Queen will never give up the throne in favor of her son Prince Charles.
Nick Bullen, who has spent years making royal documentaries, spoke to Yahoo News’ series The Royal Box about his years working with the royal family.
Nick believes ‘abdication will never happen’ as it is a really dirty word at the palace. He also says that the Queen is keen to ‘ride the wave’ of popularity that younger family members have brought to the monarchy.
‘I think the Queen sees what those boys and their wives bring, I also wonder whether she even throws forward to the great-grandchildren,’ Nick explained.
‘Princess Charlotte, already at the age of 3, knows how to work for a crowd. Maybe now through her grandchildren, she can see a way of just staying on the crest of that wave.’
He also believes that Prince Charles could easily be 80-years-old by the time he becomes King.
‘Her mother lived to 101. The Queen is there for the long run…she could live for at least another 10 years.’
‘She’s seen it all, she’s done it all, she is the ultimate working mother and working woman, and I don’t think she’s going anywhere, anytime soon.’
Apparently, the Queen has told her inner circle that if she is still head of state at the age of 95, she will initiate the Regency Act which is a piece of legislation which will grant Prince Charles full power to reign, even if she is still alive.
