In a recent development, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confirmed their disinterest in returning to their royal duties.
Consequently, the palace has grown weary of the Sussexes, and rumors are circulating that King Charles may strip them of their titles.
As a result, other members of the royal family will have to assume some of their previous responsibilities.
Princess Anne, Harry’s aunt, has officially taken on the role of Captain General of the Royal Marines, a position previously held by Prince Harry.
The Sunday Times reports that King Charles is expected to announce Anne’s appointment formally in the near future.
While it is speculated that Harry will attend one final farewell engagement with the Royal Marines, it remains uncertain whether Harry and Meghan will participate in King Charles’ coronation to partake in their final events as working royals.
Concurrently, preparations are underway to grant Anne the official title of Captain General of the Royal Marines.
Her assumption of this role will make her the first woman to hold such a position.
Prior to Harry’s two-year tenure, Prince Philip had served as Captain General for an impressive 64 years.
In 2017, at the age of 96, Philip retired from his public duties and stepped back from the role.
It is worth noting that Philip had expressed his desire for his daughter to succeed him.
He and Anne were known to share a close bond, with Eileen Parker, wife of Philip’s friend Mike Parker, stating in 2017 that Anne resembled her father more than anyone else.
Considering the demanding nature of the position, Princess Anne seems well-equipped to handle the extra workload.
The role of Captain General is renowned for its rigorous responsibilities and already involves oversight of 65 military organizations.
With her reputation for hard work and dedication, Princess Anne appears to be a fitting successor.
