The British premier Boris Johnson, in Rome for the G20, has assured that he has heard and seen the queen in excellent shape, but the doctors have prescribed a period of rest for the longest-lived sovereign ever. Elizabeth II cannot participate in a series of events and appointments. This is clear. It is not advice that the doctors who monitor the health of Her Majesty, it is an imposition. In these weeks the queen cannot do what was on her agenda and her commitments will probably be limited in the future.
For some time, the 95-year-old sovereign had reduced some of her activities, while remaining very present. Now it seems to have to stop more seriously. The hypothesis had certainly been contemplated by Buckingham Palace who has a plan for everything. The defections of the last year, however, have led to having to review the plans.
Two of the four royals who were supposed to stand in for her majesty are out of the game. Prince Harry it has taken the road to California and is no longer an active part of the “Windsor Firm”. His was a choice, that of his uncle Andrea a must. Involved in the Epstein scandal, Elizabeth’s third son no longer has active roles in the Royal Family. Remain Carlo and William because in this list there can only be adults and therefore not the children of the Duke of Cambridge.
Who is it then? Certainly al Prince Charles who has long since taken her mother’s place in many public engagements. He’s the one to be the host at the Cop26 of Glasgow, the world climate conference. He does so with full credit as he is an early environmentalist. Although not king, the Prince of Wales is taking on many of the ruler’s commitments. For years he has represented his mother at the ceremony of the Remembrance Sunday and it will also do so on November 14th. The red box with the state documents, however, still reaches Elizabeth.
His wife is also gaining space in the royal family. Camilla he could take on greater commitments and even join that elite group who are the senior members of the royal family, those who directly follow the commitments that would be His Majesty’s. If Carlo and William, how Counsellor of State, they can do activities reserved only for the sovereign, the Duchess of Cornwall can manage other commitments that would have been of the mother-in-law. The alternatives, even for the two posts of Councilor of State, are, in addition to Camilla, the daughters of Andrea, Beatrice and Eugenia, Princess Anna or Prince Edward, at least according to scholars of royal law. No comment came from Buckingham Palace.
