With the recent birth of a future king, the eyes of the world have turned on the British Monarchy. With 3 future kings ready and waiting, people are beginning to wonder: How much change is ahead? In recent months, the senior royals have had their fair share of health issues. Queen Elizabeth was hospitalized for the first time in years with a bout of gastroenteritis; Prince Philip has been in and out of hospital in the recent years with heart problems and a recurring bladder infection, causing him to miss several key royal events, most notably at the Diamond Jubilee concert last June and The Duke of Kent suffered a stroke this past spring but eventually made a recovery in time to escort his cousin to Trooping the Colour.
Princess Alexandra recently temporarily ended her engagements due to suffering from arthritis, she’s now back doing engagements. Their children and grandchildren have already stepped up to the plate, many taking on engagements themselves. But just who will carry the Windsor name into the 22nd century?
