Prince Charles and Prince William will have a tough job in the monarchy after Queen Elizabeth II.

Just recently, an insider told Globe that the Queen is fearing the end of the monarchy. Her Majesty is reportedly affected with the various scandals plaguing the royal family.

In 2017, historians Greg Jenner, Dan Snow and Kate Williams spoke with GQ about the future of monarchy. According to them, Queen Elizabeth II, herself, is a massive factor in the current support for the monarchy.

Jenner said that the Queen is “truly remarkable.” He also cited how the younger royals including Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were doing excellent jobs in establishing themselves as the youthful and modern face of royalty. However, Jenner added that there will be problems if Prince Charles will politicize the crown or if more public finances will be spent on expensive palace restoration.

Prince Charles and Prince William are the next in the line of succession. Historian TV presenter and Dan Snow cautioned the father and son about their future roles in the monarchy as he recognized the Queen’s skill and character in making the monarchy survive.

“She enabled Britain’s monarchy to survive the general collapse in perceived legitimacy of the hereditary principle in the 20th century. The next generations will have a tough job to weather the inevitable storms of the 21st,” Snow said.

The publication noted the lack of public vote on the monarchy and how its stability depend on the monarch’s character. He also advised that the future kings should not take anything for granted because nothing is sacred in a turbulent democracy with an electorate annoyed by economic setbacks and fired up by fake news.

In related news, Prince Charles was accused of insulting Donald Trump at the NATO reception earlier this week. The Prince of Wales was spotted scratching his nose using his middle finger when he met the U.S. politician.
