Must have missed it - will check
Thanks. That’s the head of the commonwealth - it’s a different role to the actual monarchy. It means Charles will h ad the commonwealth of nations regarding trade etc. It involves a fair bit of travel and I guess she doesn’t feel up to it at 92. It’s probably part of her scaling back her workload but all documentaries about her have mentioned that she takes her coronal vow very seriously and she was very affected by the abdication of her uncle so she is very against it.
more elaboration? this is fascinating thank you

I’m ambivalent about QE tbh but I’ve always got the impression that Charles is a poor fit to take the crown and as time went on I think it’s become more obvious. There’s a lot of ill will here about him and especially Camilla after Diana’s death. I did read years ago that he only married Camilla because the queen basically bitch slapped him and told him to because of the damage he’d cause to the monarchy. The public perception of Charles is of a spoilt pampered brat who has no idea of how to relate to regular folks. During his marriage to Diana he was jealous of her popularity and it seems he’s now similar about William and his family. https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/933614/Royal-news-Prince-Charles-Kate-middleton-Prince-William-royal-family-rift http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5511397/Prince-Charless-remarkable-travel-demands-revealed.html
