The Queen 'tidying up lose ends' for Royal family as her reign 'nears an end'

The Queen is reportedly 'tidying up loose ends', according to her biographer, as her time as the monarch enters its final years.

A number of iron-clad plans have already been laid out, as the monarch ensures that the future of he Royal Family is secure and in safe hands. These guidelines are in place so that when Her Majesty is no longer with us, the transition from her reign to Prince Charles is as smooth as possible.

Speaking to the royal podcast Pod Save the Queen, Andrew Morton said he believes the Queen, is 'tidying up' any loose family ends. He was invited onto the podcast to speak about his 25th book, The Queen. As the Mirror reports, Mr Morton went on to speak about the transition as Prince Charles is set to inherit the throne.

He said: "The Queen is a very tidy person and even as a little girl she used to keep her shoes all lined up properly and wake up in the night and make sure everything was tidy, so there is a tidiness about her character.

"And you can see there is a lot of tidying up going on at the minute towards the end of the reign. The biggest issue that needed to be tidied was Camilla and how she will be referred to in the future.

"The Queen has incrementally bought [Camilla's] status higher and higher. A few years ago she put her in the Privy Council so she could be there when the succession was announced.

"Then she was made a member of the Order of the Garter and finally she says that she'd like Camilla to be called Queen Consort. That has kind of ended the debate because when Prince Charles first married Camilla, the mood music was that she was never going to be called Queen and within a matter of years they were backtracking very quickly."

This comes after an unprecedented statement was released to coincide with The Queen's Accession Day on February 6. It read:"I would like to express my thanks to you all for your support. I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me.

"And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes king, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service."

Later in the interview, the biographer added how the transition between The Queen and her son Prince of Wales will be one of the easiest in history.

The author said: "This is going to be the smoothest transition in history, certainly at least since Queen Victoria and Edward VII. The Queen has asked for Prince Charles to be the Head of the Commonwealth, there have been knighthoods for those involved in the transition, there is a book on what to do when she dies and it goes on."
