In the UK, there is a tradition to celebrate the Day of Commemoration of the Fallen Fighters. Annually on November 12 this ceremony is headed by the ruling monarch. This year, the queen decided to delegate this responsible mission to Prince Charles.
It would seem, well, what's unusual? The elderly ruler just wants to spend a little more time with her husband. But for Her Majesty's subjects, it was a real shock! The matter is that for all time of board the queen did not carry out a key role on this memorable action only 4 times - twice because of diplomatic trips, and twice because of pregnancy.
Steps in the direction of the throne?
In the ceremony, Her Majesty will be present, only take a place next to her husband on the balcony of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Those who follow with interest, the life of the British court, have concluded that the queen is slowly transferring responsibilities to her son. Like, it is already difficult for them to perform because of their impressive age. In 92 years it is not easy to withstand such loads.
However, do not make premature conclusions! At one time, the monarch said that he was going to rule the country to the last breath. So do not wait for her voluntary resignation.

What really "shines" Prince Charles, is the extension of powers with the living ruling queen. Transferring responsibilities to him and another member of the family will greatly relieve Elizabeth II and allow spending more time outside the city in his favorite estates.
