The Queen will not hand over the throne to Prince Charles because she views her reign as an “incarnation”, claimed a royal expert. Tina Brown believes the Queen “will die in her bed as the Queen”, due to the oath she took at Westminster Abbey. The author of ‘The Diana Chronicles’ told CBS This Morning: “She will not step down because she does not believe this is about an office, she thinks it’s about an incarnation. She’s not running for office. The Queen will die in her bed as the Queen.

“She took an oath at Westminster Abbey, ‘all the days of my life’ will she reign.

“That’s the woman that she is, the kind of person that she is.”

Ms Brown added: “What is at stake is the spotlight and power shift.

“Poor Prince Charles is now 70 and he’s still the Prince of Wales.”

The Queen celebrated her 93rd birthday on Sunday and there are plans in place for her 70-year-old son to become King in all but name.

The monarch will trigger the Regency Act after April 21, 2021, which could make Charles Prince Regent, it is claimed.

Prince Charles would then assume the Queen’s roles and she would remain the Monarch until she dies.

A source told the Daily Star Online: “The changes are starting, and although they are small changes, more will follow.

“Her Majesty will never resign, though. She will be on the throne to her last breath.

“But with the Regency act and meetings that have taken place recently, when Her Majesty gets to 95 then (the Regency Act 1937) will be brought in through Parliament.”

It was previously reported the Queen has been holding private meetings with her eldest son for months to discuss the matters of state.

The Prince of Wales has also been added to the distribution list of despatch boxes that the Queen is sent from Whitehall.

The last time the Regency Act was invoked was in 1810 during the reign of George III when he became mentally unwell.

His eldest son took the title Prince Regent and when his father died 10 years later he became George IV.

The Regency Act was reformed in 1937 to allow for a Regency if “the Sovereign is for some definite cause not available for the performance of those functions”.

However, the list of causes is not specified leading to speculation that it is vague enough for the monarchs to allow their heirs to succeed.
