dufus Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Queen’s reign is “effectively over” according to the man who wrote Princess Diana’s explosive biography. Andrew Morton has said the coronavirus pandemic has “practically put” her son, Prince Charles, “on the throne” as she is unable to carry out engagements and could be in isolation for some time. At 94, the Queen is firmly in the government’s at risk age bracket and has been in isolation with limited staff and her husband Prince Philip, since the middle of March. It’s not clear when she might be able to leave the confines of Windsor Castle, and she has been unable to carry out the usual level of engagements during the pandemic. It’s enough for her reign to be done according to Morton, author of Diana, Her True Story, the book which exposed the failed marriage of Charles and the Princess of Wales in 1992. He told The Daily Telegraph: “It’s terribly sad but I can’t see how the Queen can resume her job. The COVID-19 virus isn’t going away soon and will be with us for months if not years. “It would be far too risky for the Queen to start meeting people on a regular basis. She has always loved getting out and meeting people but she can’t take the risk. “The brutal truth is that her reign is effectively over. COVID-19 has done more damage to the monarchy than Oliver Cromwell. “Corona has practically put Charles on the throne.” His comments come the day after a new photo was released of the Queen and Philip in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle as the couple celebrated his 99th birthday. The Queen has long held the view she needs to be seen to be believed, said to be the reason behind her bright wardrobe at public engagements. But being behind closed doors makes that all the more difficult. In response, the Queen has had photographs taken and released of her riding her pony at Home Park, in Windsor; allowed audio of a call with a nurse to be used; and fronted two televised addresses, a rarity in her reign. She also released details of a video call for the first time as she spoke to unpaid carers to mark carers week and gave an approved interview to Horse and Hound magazine. Her son Charles, who at 71 is also considered vulnerable, has been able to use his personal experience of COVID-19 as he continues to carry out engagements virtually. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastKnight Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Prince Charles looks absolutely wrecked for a man of 71 ... wouldn't surprise me if he dies of a heart attack. That being said his wife isn't a gift horse to look at in the mouth either, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
