The Daughter of Princess Kate’s “Rock” Could Step in to Help Family Amid Royal Shortage
King Charles—and in turn, Prince William—is facing a problem that Queen Elizabeth never had to worry about when it comes to royal duties. With a shrinking population of senior royals able to carry out work on behalf of the family, there’s been numerous discussions about how sustainable the current situation will be when William is eventually King. Now, one royal expert has suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s eldest child could be tipped for an eventual role.
With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moving to California and Prince Andrew being forced to step back from official duties, there aren’t many people to carry out work on behalf of the King these days. That being said, Richard Fitzgerald told GB News that “the royals have to do more work each because there are far fewer of them.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton are in their forties, and Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward are both 60, but as Fitzgerald pointed out, “We still have quite a number of royals but there are only four who are under 70.”
The Edinburghs’ 21-year-old daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, has been called one of the Royal Family’s secret weapons, and Fitzgerald noted that “the royals are looking possibly to Lady Louise one day” to pitch in with duties.
