Queen Elizabeth II’s Passing Leads to Changes in the Royal Family
In the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing at the age of 96, significant changes are occurring within the Royal Family.
These changes extend beyond personal and emotional implications to encompass titles and roles as well.
With King Charles III ascending the throne, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, have been bestowed with the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.
Additionally, Camilla has assumed the role of Queen Consort.
Princess Beatrice, one of the Queen’s eight grandchildren, has also experienced a substantial shift in her role and responsibilities following her grandmother’s death.
Trending:
As the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, Beatrice has become a Councillor of State.
This new position means that she is now one of only four individuals authorized to act on behalf of and substitute for King Charles III when required.
Her duties will include participating in privy council meetings, signing documents, and receiving the credentials of new ambassadors.
Previously, the required four Councillors of State were Queen Elizabeth II’s two sons, Prince Charles and Prince Andrew, as well as Charles’ two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
However, now that Charles has assumed his role as reigning monarch, a new Councillor of State needed to be appointed.
The Councillors of State were originally designated to step in for the Queen in case she was unable to fulfill her duties due to illness or being abroad.
Princess Beatrice will now take on this responsibility for King Charles moving forward.
She was chosen because she is the highest-ranking candidate in the line of succession who is above the age of 21.
Currently, Princess Beatrice holds the ninth position in the order of inheriting the throne.
Although not in the line of succession, Camilla, Queen Consort, Charles’ wife of 17 years, can also substitute for her husband if instructed to do so.
Recently, Beatrice’s husband, Italian Count Edoma Pelli Mozzi, shared an unseen image of the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who had been married for 73 years.
Alongside the photo, he expressed his emotions in an Instagram post, acknowledging the profound impact the Queen had on the world and expressing gratitude that their children had the opportunity to spend time with her.
He concluded the post with a heartfelt tribute, stating, “Rest in peace, Your Majesty.
We will miss you so much.”
Princess Anne, another member of the Royal Family, will also receive a new title.
The designation of Princess Royal is traditionally bestowed upon the eldest daughter of the monarch.
Despite King Charles not having any daughters, Princess Anne will retain the title until her passing.
This title is not hereditary, and Princess Charlotte, the second child of the new Duke of Cornwall, will not automatically inherit it upon Anne’s death.
The power to decide whether and when to bestow the Princess Royal title onto his daughter lies with William, Charlotte’s father.
However, this may not happen immediately.
Currently, Anne, Princess Royal, is accompanying her late mother’s coffin as it travels from Balmoral to Edinburgh.
She managed to be by her mother’s side before she peacefully passed away on Thursday afternoon.
As the Queen’s only daughter, Anne is expected to play a central role in the upcoming funeral proceedings.
She will also accompany the coffin during its flight from Edinburgh to London on Tuesday.
