Last year was one of the most tumultuous but for the royal family.Prince William andPrince Harry private grievances with each other burst into a public quarrel andPrince Andrew's participation In a sex scandal resulted in his ban on Buckingham Palace. But 2020 turns out to be even more difficult for Windsor's house. First of all, of course, was Harry andMeghan Makle's dramatic output of royal life. And now, because of the Pandemic of Covid-19, there may be a seismic change that could change the future of the British monarchy in a few months.

Shortly after the news erupted that a palace employee had been tested positive for COVID-19 at the end of March,Queen Elizabeth Disharled at Windsor Castle to self-isolate withPrince Philip. Then,Prince Charles announced that he had contracted the virus. Although he recovered, he remains isolated from Self in Birkhall, his home in Scotland on the ground of Balmoral, with his wife,Camilla, Cornwall Duchess. But the latest news, according toThe temperature, is it theQueen withdraws from public life And "will stay at the Indefinite Windsor Castle", which has spoiled royal observers if His Majesty is finally ready to give up the throne.

Could Prince Charles finally become king or will appoint Charles as Prince Regent, which would allow him to formally execute the functions of sovereign until his majesty's statement? A royal source saidThe temperatureThere will be new discussions in October, noting, "the queen will do nothing that goes against the advice of people in his age category and will take all the appropriate advice."

An Insider Palace told me that the 94-year-old monarch will again be able to assume many responsibilities. "Given the age of His Majesty and the undergoing threat she faces because of the nature of the virus epidemic, it's hard to imagine that she returned at any time this year - and Possibly beyond that. It would be the longest absence during his 68-year-old reign, "says my source. "His decision to self-isolate in Windsor was careful and, over time, she could determine that the time has come to appoint the Prince of Wales as a prince regent."

While the Queen has not been a public view since the Commonwealth Day Services of March 30, she played a central role in rallying the United States. Faced with the pandemic, which reminds them of two remarkable occasions to stay calm and continue. In early April, she gave atelevision address- The fifth of his total reign - where she sounded notes of hope and encouragement to the crisis. Then last week she didtouching Where she shared his own memories of victory in Europe, urging the British people to remain strong and not to abandon the fight against coronavirus.

The Queen has howeverCanceled many of its favorite royal commitments and higher profile For the rest of this year, including the troops of the color and rally of Braemar in Scotland, as well as annual summer garden parts in Buckingham Palace. "This is such a departure for the Queen, who has always been able to put pressure regardless of the circumstances," said my source. "But it exceeds his control."

Another possibility for the future of the monarchy, according to my source, is that Charles will act as a "king of shadow" in the absence of his mother - unofficially exercising the responsibilities of the queen behind the scenes as we thought have done afterMAINTENANCE OF THE DISASTER BBC OF PRINCE ANDREWS and during theNegotiations in Megxit.

"There is no question that Charles has won more power over the last year of the family," said an initiate. "It's the natural progression of things, but the virus can put the plans that have been done on an accelerated path. It is impossible to know if it means that Charles become regents, or the amount of the throne, or to maintain things like They are. The circumstances are unprecedented and too fluid to predict the future right now. A huge change could happen at any time. "

Earlier this week,The Express asked readers in a survey: "Should we become a Prince Regent If [the] queen can not return to the duty due to Covid-19? "In response, 1,21210 out of 2,065 said" no ", with several readers noting that thePrince of Wales is still among the most vulnerable to the disease.

A respondent suggested to the monarchy "Jumping a generation in Will and Kate if we need a visible monarchy attending royal duties." Prince William andKate Middletonhave taken higher profile roles from the stricken pandemic, accumulating their presence on social media and becoming absolutelyqualified for virtual tours.

In a separateExpress Survey, 76 percent of respondents voted "yes" to the question "Should William become regent?"A royal observer wrote:" It certainly seems that his head more screwed than most others and that Kate is too earthly and compassionate. "

"There is no doubt that the pandemic has changed the life of each large and small. The royal family is no different," said my source. "The difference is for them, if there must be a kind of transition this year, it will be at a time when there is already too much troubled change. The queen is the only monarch that most British have already known. It does not matter in the future going to have a huge impact.
