News of Queen Elizabeth II retirement has been aplenty since the last quarter of last year. The Queen has turned 90 and can no longer manage all her queenly duties at her age. It has been reported that Her Majesty will be retiring this year.
In view of this, her grandson Prince William will assume some of her obligations. According to Marie Claire, the 34-year-old Prince will quit his military job to assist his grandmother in performing her royal duties.
Prince William has been an air ambulance helicopter pilot at East Anglian Air Ambulance. Although it is a job closest to his heart, he will give it up for the Queen's sake. He informed that his experiences from this job will be in his heart for as long as he lives. He added that those actual life-saving experiences will be highly valuable to him when he assumes the kingship in the future.
But his resignation is also beneficial not only for the Palace but for his own family. The father of two will have more time for his wife and children. Kate Middleton and Prince George will be staying most of the time in London because of the Prince's schooling. The Duke will be with his family because he will spend his time in the Palace more often.
The Queen takes charge of 25 organizations where she is the patron. She will soon step down and delegate some of her duties to the younger royal family members.
Kate Middleton has assumed Save the Children, NSPCC, and Barnardo's. According to Newsweek, she was also assigned as the patroness of the Wimbledon. For England's rugby leadership, RFU, her brother-in-law Prince Harry has taken over. Prince William was assigned to head Wales' WRU.
Queen Elizabeth has delegated her duties to the other members of the royal family to ease the transition one she retires reported to be this year. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be a lot busier this year.
A statement from Kensington Palace confirmed this which says, "The Royal Highnesses are keen to increase their official work on behalf of the Queen and for the charities and causes they support, which will require greater time spent in London." Queen Elizabeth II retirement will soon take place but her subordinates need not worry because the Palace will be in good hands.
