Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly preparing the public for Prince Charles to take over the monarchy by doing a particular move.

Just recently, the Queen attended the state opening of Parliament to make her annual speech. She was accompanied by Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

There were speculations that Prince Charles’ presence at the event meant something. It was reportedly a hint of his bigger role in the monarchy.

“Charles’ appearance alongside his mother was reportedly not only for moral support but a way of making the British public accustomed to seeing the future king at important royal events,” New Idea reported.

However, it was not the first time the Prince of Wales accompanied the Queen for the same event. In 2017, Prince Charles also joined the Queen during the state opening of Parliament.

For months, there have been rumors that the royal family is already preparing for Prince Charles’s transition as the next king. According to Robert Jobson in his book “Charles at 70: Thoughts, Hopes and Dreams” the royal officials have already confirmed that the Prince of Wales is the prince regent. This means that Prince Charles is a “king in all but name.”

“Some close to the monarch say that, if she reaches the age of 95, she will make a monumental decision and choose to officially allow Charles to take over the stewardship of her reign,” a source said.

“She will, they say, officially transfer all executive powers to him as Prince Regent until her death, when he will become king. This would enable her to fudge the issue of her not fulfilling her Coronation Oath to God and her people to serve as queen regnant until her death.”

Meanwhile, many believe that Prince Charles will face challenges when he takes over the monarchy. According to a Republican spokesman, the royal PR machine is facing a crisis as the heir apparent takes the throne and even questioned if he would not capitalize on all the power he is about to inherit.
