It looks like Prince Charles will have to continue his wait to succeed his mother on the throne. Queen Elizabeth II, who is currently 93, will not be stepping down when she turns 95, Charles’ office confirmed to People this week, following a flurry of headlines suggesting her departure. While the queen isn’t passing along total control, she is passing off patronages and royal duties to her children, grandchildren and their spouses. Prince Charles had 398 engagements in the U.K. and 109 overseas last year. POOL New / Reuters The queen and Charles at the opening of Parliament at the Palace of Westminster in London in October.
