Royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti has noted the Queen will continue to pass on duties to other royals for a variety of reasons. During an interview with Express.co.uk, he said there are multiple benefits of William and Charles taking duties from the Queen. Not only does she get a break, due to her age, but these royals are better prepared and more experienced about their growing role in the Royal Family.

Mr Sacerdoti said: “It is clear the Queen is feeling some effects of her age.

“She is somebody who has dedicated a tremendous amount of time and energy to her service as the monarch.

“Now she is handing some of it over to family but that is not necessarily new.

“She has been doing this for some time, spreading out the work more across the family.

“I think that serves more than one purpose.”

The royal expert went into detail about the multiple benefits of other royals having significant royal duties.

He said: “It isn’t just to give the Queen a break, it is also to prepare the next in line for the throne and even Prince William after him for their role as monarch one day.

“That is one of the benefits of the system that we have in the monarchy.

“The system of the people who are going to take over, genuinely speaking, know through their whole life that it is coming.

“I think the Queen has been spreading the load a bit to Prince Charles and Prince William and even to Princess Anne and I think that will carry on.

“I don’t think we should read too much into what engagements the Queen gives to whom.

“The fact of the matter is Prince Charles is the person next in line and has also got many years of experience behind him.

“Prince William himself, in middle-age, has also gained a fair level of experience.

“It will go in order, Prince Charles is next in line, he will go to the more senior events.

“Prince William, in turn, will get some other things.”
