Royal experts believe that Prince Charles is now acting as a regent. This comes after Buckingham Palace reportedly confirmed the scaled-back duties and responsibilities of Queen Elizabeth II following the celebration of her Platinum Jubilee.

Express UK said that the assertions came from royal author Phil Dampier. He recently had a discussion about the matter with Camilla Tominey on “LBC.”

The expert began with the reports about the British Monarch’s “lighter duties.” He told the commentator that it appears to be a confirmation of “what we have known for some time.”

Dampier continued that “Prince Charles is having to step up and take on quite a few of the Queen’s duties that she can’t do,” adding that it is “because of her age and… her medical condition.”

The publication later quoted the royal expert, saying, “the physical difficulties [for the Queen] and going to things like the State Opening of Parliament, and certainly traveling abroad for things like the Commonwealth heads of government meeting,... are just a non-starter.”

Accordingly, Dampier believes that they are “at the stage where [they] are in a… regency in all but name.” He also added that they are in an “uncharted territory” with what is currently happening.

The same royal author also told Tominey that he is “convinced” about Queen Elizabeth II not ever abdicating. He recalled the vows the monarch made in 1953, asserting that she took them as “sacred before God.”

Dampier later emphasized that the British Monarch “will not ever quit,” adding that she is “going to remain Queen right up until the end.”

The royal author then pointed out that Prince Charles and Prince William are “taking on more duties” for the British Monarchy. He also asserted that the two royal-born Princes are supported by their respective wives, Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton, “and that’s the pact that’s going to happen.”

The discussions about Prince Charles being regent come after Buckingham Palace reportedly changed Queen Elizabeth II's job description.

Woman and Home said the move would lighten the monarch’s workload as she goes through her mobility issues.

It reported that the updates on the Queen’s duties and responsibilities were published in the palace’s annual report. As explained, the changes scrapped a number of her official tasks, including the State Opening of Parliament and State Visits.

The outlet later stated that this marks the first time in over a decade that such changes and revisions have been made to the Queen’s official role.
