Even while she divides her burden with her son, Prince Charles, and grandson, Prince William, the Queen maintains strict control.
According to royal analyst Robert Lacey, the 95-year-old began delegating some of her more time-consuming, travel-related chores to the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge last year.
The move comes after a string of health scares following the loss of her beloved husband, Prince Philip, in April of last year.
“They function together — not as equals, because the Queen remains in power — but William is a very active component in the way the monarchy protects itself,” said People Magazine.
The duo has lately been called in for additional support after the Queen contracted Covid-19.
