London, Dec. 14, (THAINDIAN NEWS) A recent document has revealed that Prince William will now be entrusted with many of the public duties that the monarch of the state has to undertake. The decision has been taken by Queen Elizabeth ll and it serves a two fold purpose. The Queen has admitted that while in the one hand it will serve the purpose of taking some of the load off the shoulders of the Queen and Prince Philip, on the other hand, it will also initiate the Prince of Wales to some of the duties he will have to see to, once he is crowned the king.

Prince William is being groomed as the “Shadow King” at the Windsor Palace. The report comes right after the palace’s denial of the reports that had come in a similar strain a few days back. The palace had refuted any claims of the press that the Prince of Wales would be taking over many of the official duties, considering that the Queen is getting along in terms of age and he would be the next monarch.

The latest update on the matter has come in the form of a treasury note that outlines the details of new financial plans for the two brothers. In fact, Prince William is already planning his first official visit to Australia and New Zealand. The news has come as a confirmation of the speculation that has being doing the rounds, that the Queen keeps more faith on the Prince William than on his father, as the next monarch of the country.
