As concerns of the Queen’s mobility issues persist, the Prince of Wales has been paying the monarch “unusual” early visits at Balmoral.
According to royal analysts, spontaneous meetings between Prince Charles and his mother are unusual; instead, these encounters are often scheduled by house staff.
According to The Sun, Her Majesty is not anticipated to fly to London to choose a new Prime Minister next month; it is more likely that Boris Johnson’s replacement would travel the 1,000 miles to the Scottish estate.
After more than a year of mobility issues, the Queen’s advisers are allegedly concerned about her comfort during the next PM’s 48-hour stay.
The Queen often gets a large greeting party when she arrives to Balmoral, but this has also been relocated indoors.
As rumours of the Queen’s mobility issues persist, the Prince of Wales has been paying her “strange” early visits.
According to royal analysts, spontaneous meetings between Prince Charles and his mother are uncommon; instead, they are often scheduled by house staff.
The Queen has also skipped her usual Sunday church services, although it’s known that she plans to attend the traditional Braemar games the following weekend.
Prince Andrew, 62, is also there in Balmoral and is said to be discussing his future with his mother.
It’s quite rare for Prince Charles to make these types of spontaneous excursions to see his mother, according to Majesty Magazine’s Ingrid Seward.
Everyone believes they often cross paths, but they don’t.
They often attribute the problem on geography since people are dispersed around the nation.
Next month, it’s unlikely that the Queen will visit London to pick a new Prime Minister; instead, it’s more likely that Boris Johnson’s replacement will travel the 1,000 miles to Balmoral (pictured)
The Queen was last seen leaving an aircraft in public on July 21 at Aberdeen Airport.
The Queen will reportedly meet with both her current and future prime ministers on September 6 in Balmoral for a “kissing of the hands ritual,” according to sources. Buckingham Palace has not responded to the rumors.
In the middle of the next week, it’s anticipated that the arrangements will be decided.
Both of the contenders for the position of future Tory leader, including Boris Johnson, have said they are eager to travel.
The Queen would be receiving a departing or freshly appointed Prime Minister away from Buckingham Palace for the first time in her 70-year reign.
However, prior kings had a history of doing this.
Instead of Buckingham Palace, the Queen is anticipated to choose the next prime minister in Balmoral.
Throughout her reign, Queen Victoria often invited her Prime Ministers to Balmoral, and in 1908, King Edward VII summoned Herbert Asquith to attend an appointment there.
The Queen has now been urged not to go, a source informed the Sun.
However, it is clear that the Queen makes her own decisions and, as was seen at the Jubilee when she made a surprise third appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, no one can tell her what to do.
Prince Charles may act in certain capacities on the Queen’s behalf, but the monarch is determined that she choose the Prime Minister.
The Prime Ministers can easily get to Balmoral, therefore it would not be the greatest idea to have the Queen drive 1,000 miles there and back for a 48-hour stay.
The last Prime Minister to shake hands with the queen outside of Buckingham Palace was Winston Churchill, who did so in 1952 at Heathrow Airport when the newly crowned Queen arrived back from Africa after the death of her father King George VI.
Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss are competing to succeed Johnson as prime minister.
The Queen typically doesn’t return from her Balmoral vacation until the beginning of October, but according to reports, she has informed her advisers that this year she would make an exception and visit London.
One of the Queen’s few personal prerogatives is the selection of the Prime Minister, and reports claim that she planned to carry out this task personally.
It is the most recent adjustment made as a result of Her Majesty’s ongoing mobility challenges and health concerns.
It was announced earlier this month that the Queen had “cancelled her usual welcome to Balmoral” in favor of a modest private gathering.
According to sources, the change was “a hint of things to come” given Her Majesty’s sporadic mobility issues.
Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss are anticipated to depart for Balmoral as the next PM on September 6.
The private event, according to Buckingham Palace, was “in accordance with modifying Her Majesty’s schedule for her comfort,” which downplayed worries about her health.
Her Majesty is said to enjoy spending time in Balmoral and often hosts her family there in the summer.
She arrived in Scotland on July 21 and has been residing at Craigowan Lodge since since.
It happens after a furniture-laden vehicle was seen outside Balmoral on Saturday after arriving from Windsor.
A wheelchair-accessible elevator was installed last year at Craigowan Lodge, one of several adjustments made to Balmoral in recent years.
In addition, a modern intercom system, a new security gate, and several new CCTV cameras were added.
