Queen Camilla will be taking some time away from royal duties for a short period, it's been reported. For the last few weeks, the 76 year old has been representing the crown at more events and engagements than usual due to her husband, King Charles III's recent cancer diagnosis.

This is a significant day for the royals, as the monarch is the head of the Commonwealth.
Until then, the royal website has confirmed that the King's siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward will be holding the fort and attending any upcoming events. For example, The Princess Royal will represent her family at His Majesty's Prison / Young Offenders Institute in Buckinghamshire on 5 March while the Duke of Edinburgh will visit Freewheelers Theatre at The Lighthouse in Leatherhead a day later.

After a difficult few years for the Royal Family with the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the reduced number of working royals following the departures of the Duke of York and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, one royal has truly stepped up to the plate. Known for carrying on his father's role with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme and his passions for the arts, Prince Edward has truly come into his own in the last few years and become a key source of support for The King.
Even though he was third in line to the throne when he was born on 10 March, 1964, the Duke of Edinburgh never faced any realistic prospect of becoming King in the UK - but he almost did abroad! This surprising revelation comes from an odd request made to Prince Edward back in 1994.The Line of Succession is something that can't be changed based on personal preference, but it seems one foreign country didn't quite understand this. In 1994, during a time of big changes in their country, Estonia asked Prince Edward to become their head of state. Buckingham Palace kindly turned down this "charming" offer.

Prince Edward and his wife Sophie make up two of the seven-strong line up of senior royals who can represent The King - alongside the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal. While Prince Edward was incredibly important to his mother, the late Queen, and was often regarded as one of her closest family members, his time growing up at Buckingham Palace sounds far from perfect.

Ever since King Charles acceded to the throne on the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, there have been a number of changes to royal titles. The day after he became King, it was announced that Prince William and Kate had become the Prince and Princess of Wales, and, six months later, it was revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children would be styled as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
Following the accession of King Charles in September 2022, a number of changes that come with a new reign were automatically enacted - including one which affected Queen Camilla and Princess Beatrice. This move saw the pair both added to the list of Counsellors of State - meaning they can step in for the King if he is abroad, ill or becomes otherwise incapacitated and hold the powers of the sovereign in an emergency.
