What Prince Edward Taking Over King Charles’ Duties Really Means For The Future Of The Royals
A royal surprise? King Charles has turned to Prince Edward and Sophie for official royal duties. While the monarch is undergoing treatment for his cancer, his younger brother and his wife are attending events for his honor.
Amid King Charles’ cancer treatment and Prince William taking a step back away from his royal duties as his wife Kate Middleton also undergoes cancer treatment, The Telegraph reported that Prince Edward Royal Family’s new “leading man.” The Duke of Edinburgh and his wife Sophie attended an event marked the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale where dignitaries like the French Ambassador to the U.K. Hélène Duchêne attended. The event supposedly marks a major shift in the royals’ roles to be more dependent on Edward for more prominent occassions. His last public appearance was at the Royals’ Easter celebration.
