Queen 'to hand over public duties to Prince William' | Queen Elizabeth II will hand over significant public duties to her grandson Prince William as part of preparations for the day when he becomes king, according
to reports. The British monarch was said to be grooming the second in line to
the throne as a "shadow king", fuelling speculation that the crown could skip
a generation and passed over in favour of William. According to the Mail, confidential
government papers suggest plans to take some burden off the Queen and Duke of
Edinburgh were at an advanced level, reports The Independent. The documents, inked
by Treasury officials, apparently said Prince William "will spend a significant
part of his time on official engagements" from next year. They also added the
27-year-old and his younger brother, Harry, "will increasingly incur expenditure
when undertaking engagements on behalf of the Queen". |
