The deputy ruler, or regent, performs the tasks of the permanent holder of the crown, or the monarch, when he is, for example, a minor, absent or unable to perform the task due to illness.
Health concerns
Rumors about Charles’ ascension to power surfaced already in the spring, when the prince took on more and more of the duties and representative tasks originally planned for Elizabeth.
The latest cancellation came this week when Elizabeth was due to greet the public at Balmoral Castle. The traditional ceremony was replaced by a “small, private event”.
During the last year, Elisabet has often represented with a walking stick. “Moving difficulties” have not been specified in more detail in the public domain.

Future changes
Naturally, many things change when the government changes. Currently, Queen Elizabeth is referred to in passports, banknotes and even in the national anthem. These will all be renewed when the next ruler comes to power.
The public has been told that Charles is planning to make other changes when he eventually comes to power.
The Sunday Times reported in spring 2021 that Charles plans to convert the royal residences from private to public. With this, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle, Sandringham Manor and Clarence House will be more widely open to the public during the year.
The palaces would still serve as the homes of royalty, even if public access were increased. Normally, royal residences are open to the public for a few months a year. In the future, for example, Buckingham Palace could be visited all year round, even when King Charles himself was there.

The Daily Star reported in 2019 that Charles, as king, also intends to significantly reduce the official membership of the royal family. According to the information, in the future working members of the royal family would only include Charles’ children and their families.
