Queen Elizabeth, allegedly, only has six more months left in her reign.

During an interview on The Royal Beat, royal biographer Robert Jobson said that he thinks the queen will pass on all her duties to Prince Charles in six months or less.

According to Jobson, it’s unlikely for the queen to abdicate. But what she can do is she can give Prince Charles a regency role.

Newsweek reporter Jack Royston echoed Jobson’s claims by saying that the queen won’t step down from her royal duties because she vowed to serve her country and the Commonwealth for as long as she’s still alive.

However, she will give Prince Charles an increased workload to further prepare him for his future role as king. And when the time comes that he will ascend the throne, Prince Charles will be more than ready with his duties.

Meanwhile, Jobson said that Prince Charles should be given a different title now that his royal duties have increased. After all, when he attends state visits and meet with high-profile guests, he’s still the Prince of Wales. However, this title doesn’t have the same impact as the king.

But royal historian Anna Whitelock mentioned the Regency Act of 1937 that states that a regent may be called upon to act on behalf of a reigning monarch in the event of incapacity and the like.

“She won’t ever abdicate. The bottom line is he is the king, he has the executive power, he is prince regent,” Jobson said.

There has been so much talk surrounding Prince Charles’ future role as king and the queen’s abdication. However, most reliable sources are confident enough to say that Her Majesty will never abdicate.

According to Royal Central, the queen is allergic to the word abdication because it reminds her of what her uncle did decades ago. King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to wed Wallis Simpson. And his abdication resulted in the queen’s dad assuming the role of king.

The publication also said that abdication is not common among British monarchs regardless of age. Most often than not, the reigning monarch passes on the baton to his or her successor only after he or she passes away.

King George VI passed away first that’s why the queen succeeded him and became the head of the British monarchy. As such, the same thing will happen to Prince Charles.

The queen would have to die first before Prince Charles could be crowned as king.
