With the dad’s death Filippo, the new patriarch of the royal family is the seventy-two-year-old Prince Charles. He is the highest ranking male figure and his, according to British media, the title of Duke of Edinburgh will pass that Philip instead wanted to yield to Andrew of York (wish expressed, apparently, long before the third child was involved in the scandal of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein).

The queen Elisabetta at nearly 95 years old (he will perform them on April 21st) he has not no intention of abdicating renouncing her duties as sovereign. But now that she is a widow she has decided to slow down the pace. For Carlo, assisted by his eldest son William, then begins what the British media have already called one soft regency, a soft regency, not officially declaimed but that technically sees him already taking the place of his mother monarch.

For some time now the British press has given Charles the unflattering title of “Forgotten prince“. Because of a bitter record: at 72, he is the longest-awaited heir to the throne in UK history. But now his time has come: even if he does not ascend the throne he will be the “executive director” of the firm, the Company, as the Royal House is also called.

The Prince of Wales has already made an important decision: he and the son will immediately divide the tasks according to their areas of interest and those that will be most important to them when they ascend the throne.

But now there is another fundamental question to be resolved: after Harry’s farewell and Meghan Markle to the royal family and with Elizabeth II intent on minimizing her commitments, what will be the new ones working royal, or the royals who, from now on, will have to represent the sovereign? There are hundreds of roles and patronages to redistribute. Too many, considering that each of the royals left at court, from Carlo and Camilla to William and Kate, from Anna of England to Edward and Sophie of Wessex, already complete up to 500 commitments each year representing the queen.

Charles and William, to find a solution, hastily organized a summit with His Majesty. During the meeting, which will take place in the next few days, the hypothesis of involve other Windsors who currently have no real obligations. For example Beatrice and Eugenie of York e Zara Tindall e Peter Phillips, children of Princess Anna.

Charles and his son William have apparently already taken over the reins of the Crown. A new era is about to begin for the British Royal House.
