Queen Elizabeth II has been urged to remove Prince Andrew from taking charge amidst her absence and make her daughter Princess Anne a stand-in monarch.

According to The International News, Prince Charles and Prince William will be on foreign trips this month, making Prince Andrew in charge by default in light of the Queen's absence if she becomes ill.

Prince William will reportedly visit the Caribbean, while Prince Charles will be visiting Ireland. A British newspaper wanted the Queen to appoint Princess Anne as counsellor of state and make her an emergency stand-in monarch.

It cited an incident wherein George V had free rein to appoint counsellors in the past, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, Geo TV reported.

According to the newspaper, it would require an urgent reform of the 1937 Regency ACT to safeguard against the "grossly unsuitable possibility."

Last month, it was reported that Princess Anne would represent the Queen at a major event in Australia in the coming weeks. Daily Express reported that Princess Anne would be the guest of honor at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in April.

The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW will host the event. It is a charity dedicated to celebrating "agricultural excellence and rural resilience."

Organizers of the event confirmed that the Princess Royal was "specifically coming to Australia," with her being a patron of the Royal Agriculture Society of the Commonwealth.

Queen Elizabeth II's Absence

Last month, it was reported that Princess Anne and Prince Andrew had been tipped for royal honor for the post of the counsellor of state, who stand-in for the Queen or monarch if they cannot perform their official duties.

Counsellors of the state can be spouses of the monarch and the next four people in the lone of succession aged over 21. Currently, those are the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge, Duke of Sussex, and the Duke of York, according to Daily Express.

One expert in U.K. constitutional law, Dr. Craig Prescott, said it seemed "inevitable" that there would be change.

Prescott added that it would be more pressing when Prince Charles becomes king and travels abroad with the Duchess of Cornwall, who would then become a counsellor as the wife of a monarch.

The royal family may also look to add the Duchess of Cambridge in line of precedence. A royal historian, Hugo Vickers, said the changes should "probably happen."

Queen Elizabeth Is Returning to Work

The 95-year-old monarch has returned to work, engaging in her first in-person meeting since she was diagnosed with COVID on February 20.

The Queen met up with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Windsor Castle, where she has been recovering, People reported.

Queen Elizabeth was reported to have experienced mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace earlier said the Queen would continue to receive medical attention and follow all the appropriate guidelines.
