In the UK there is speculation that Queen Elizabeth may be considering handing over the throne to her son Prince Charles in about eighteen months or so. The reason? The way in which he let the Duke of Cornwall and Prince William deal with the situation of Prince Andrew's sudden fall.

The monarch would yield the throne to her son when she turned 95, which is the same age at which her husband Prince Felipe retired from his royal obligations.

"His majesty is very aware of his age and wants to make sure that when the time comes, the transition from the crown is somewhat smooth," said a source close to the palace. "The queen is thinking it very well and believes that, if she is still alive at 95, she will abdicate in favor of Carlos." The Sun source continued: "Of course, plans for Charles to finally be king are definitely on the way."

The long-lived queen would also have the option of not abdicating and, in the case of having health problems, then a regent would take his place, it is assumed that the heir, who is already 71 years old. Prince Charles has already held the post of the queen on many occasions, who is lowering her official commitments as she turns years.

During 2018, while she fulfilled more than two hundred commitments, Carlos has already appeared on her behalf in more than 500.

Apparently, the intervention of her eldest son was fundamental for the queen when dealing with the fall of Prince Andrés in the wake of her recent and catastrophic television interview about her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The prince, who was at that time in New Zealand, communicated to the queen by telephone that definitely "Andrés had to leave, it was the only possible option".

"The scandal surrounding his brother gave him an opportunity to take the reins to demonstrate that he can run the institution," the source told The Sun. "No individual is greater than the royal family. Not even a son of the queen like Prince Andrew, who is said to be, above all, her favorite. Charles understood that he had to act quickly and decisively as the future king that he will be. He even claims that, as a result of this, Charles is now called the Shadow King in London.

It remains to be seen whether Prince Andrew will regain prominence in the family once the Epstein case is cleared up in the United States or if his friendship with the pedophile has irreversibly ended his career and forever.
