Queen Elizabeth Looked ‘Frail’ While Delivering Her Speech; Prince Charles Falls Asleep

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles attended the State Opening of Parliament this week.

During the engagement, the heir to the throne assisted his mom as they made their way to the platform. The Queen, who didn’t wear a robe, appeared to look frail during the outing.

On Twitter, some royal fans expressed their worry over the Queen’s health. One of them said that it’s so obvious that Her Majesty looks thin and stressed.

Another person said that the Queen looked frail because she didn’t wear a robe to conceal her weight loss. Others also encouraged Prince Charles to take over the Queen’s role so that she could enjoy her last years.

“The Queen is in her 90’s and is delivering a speech in the Lords. Time for the Prince of Wales to take over these things surely? He is sitting there anyway,” the Twitter user said.

According to Express, Prince Charles once again showed an obvious indication that he will be taking over the Queen soon. The fact that he accompanied Her Majesty to the State Opening of Parliament is a tell-tale sign.

However, experts recently dismissed the rumors that the Queen will be abdicating in 2021 when she turned 95. In an article she penned for Vanity Fair, royal author Katie Nicholl also said that a Regency won’t take place anytime soon. After all, the Queen is still able to perform her duties.

“She has that great advantage, but consultation should not be seen as a wish to hand over her power,” Nicholl said.

Meanwhile, the heir to the throne was also photographed seemingly falling asleep while at the engagement. In the photo uploaded by New Idea, Prince Charles’ head is bowed down a little, and his eyes are also closed.

Sitting beside her is his mom who is wide awake and reading from a booklet.
