"The Queen is aware of her age and wants to ensure that when the time comes, the transfer of the throne will take place smoothly. The Queen has seriously thought about the matter and believes that, if she reached the age of 95, she will seriously consider crowning Prince Charles, "Jobson said.

"The plan for Prince Charles to be crowned king has been done for some time. A conversion is underway," the royal source said.

Following the rule of royal succession, the Queen cannot abdicate, but she can stop all royal responsibilities and duties if her health does not allow it. At that time, a regent would replace her for the kingdom.

In the British royal family, the regent is most likely the next heir, Prince Charles, 71. The Prince of Wales has been responsible for much of the Queen's work over the past few years.
