CHARLES’ NEW-LOOK MONARCHY!

Changes will be fast and fervent in Her Majesty’s absence
CHARLES’ NEW-LOOK MONARCHY!

While the Queen remains determined to stay on the throne until her final breath, even the beloved monarch is starting to accept that it’s time for her next in line to step up.

Woman’s Day understands the palace is in “the late stages” of drawing up a regency for Prince Charles – meaning he’ll rule in the unfortunate event the Queen is no longer able.

The news comes after Her Majesty, 96, failed to appear at the Royal Ascot races for the first time since her 1953 coronation due to her mobility issues.

Charles, 73, is “ready to formalise the role he has essentially been doing since last year”, says a palace insider.

“He knows he won’t reign for long, but he is already in charge of the day-to-day and wants to make that official. The Queen used to resist the idea of a regency, but even she is accepting that it’s time.”

Courtiers add that Charles has a lot of things he wants to implement – but most pressing will be shaking up the wider family’s roles. Here, we look at what a regency means for the outlying Windsors...

Sarah, Duchess of York, defended her ex-husband last week as a “good and kind man”, but Charles couldn’t care less, according to insiders. “Charles can’t wait to see the back of both of them – they’ve been a thorn in his side,” says a source, adding he plans to give them a modest home in rural Scotland and an allowance “if that’s what it takes to keep them both out of his hair”.
