“Prince Charles and Prince William have made more commitments in support of the Queen,” said Bullen. “I believe all she wants for the monarchy is a long life. She wants to leave it in a better position. And she is happy with the three kings who are about to take over, namely Charles, William , and over time, George. “
“You have to think about what the world looked like when Elizabeth became queen,” Bullen continued. Britain just came out of the war. Her father, King George VI, had died when he was only 56. And with everything the Queen has to deal with, she has led an incredible government. ‘

Although the monarchy has been shaken by scandal in recent years, Bullen said the palace is just ‘going on’.
“I’ve been told the Windsors are operating on a 100-year plan,” he said. That’s why things like Harry and Meghan leaving or speaking out are just moments in history. They are short lived. But the Windsors think long-term. And I understand the Queen knows her family will continue her legacy. long after she’s gone. “
The Queen’s reign began with the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952. She was officially crowned on June 2, 1953.
