Power Shift from Elizabeth to Charles



Palace reshuffle as the Queen passes more royal responsibilities to Prince Charles

THE relocating of staff within Buckingham Palace suggest that the first steps are being taken to bring Prince Charles to the throne.

A merging of palace staff has begun, which sees Prince Charles' aide become the media chief for the entire Royal household.

The heir to the throne will also accompany his mother to the beaches of Normandy later this year.

The trip is to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, Charles accompanying the Queen on the trip further adds to speculation that it may be the monarch's final engagement overseas.

A French government official, who was involved with organising the D-Day anniversary events, revealed that: "We have been told this will probably be the Queen's last official foreign visit."

And Palace sources recently confessed that Her Majesty's schedule contains no further foreign trips.

A source said that no official decision had yet been made, claiming: "Invitations are still coming in and we are assessing them on their merits."
 
These recent changes in the palace are being interpreted by many as an effective 'job-share' of the monarchy as the Queen grows old.

Charles will stand in for his mother at some of the day's major engagements, further signs that he is increasingly taking on the role as monarch.

Royal aides are expected to make the announcement this week, revealing that the Prince's media team has been merged with that of the Queen.

The single communication pod will be based in Buckingham Palace and headed by Prince Charles' aide Sally Osman, in a move masterminded by Her Majesty's private secretary Sir Christopher Geidt.

The Queen has made 261 official visits during her 62-year-reign.

She turns 88-years old in April and has steadily been passing responsibilities to younger members of the royal family including Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
