Queen Elizabeth has been sparking health concerns for years, and this isn’t necessarily surprising. After all, the monarch is already 95 years old.
There have been endless discussions regarding the future of the monarchy after Queen Elizabeth passes away. But even while she’s still alive, so many rumors are already surrounding the monarch.
Is Queen Elizabeth’s Health Declining?
Speculations regarding the monarch’s health heightened after she was photographed holding a cane at an event. This isn’t the first time the queen has gone out of her house with her stick, but royal fans are more concerned now than ever because of her age.
Life & Style, in its Nov. 1 issue, claimed that there are real fears that Her Majesty’s health is declining. So, members of the royal family are allegedly pressuring her to decide the future of the monarchy.
“It has become more apparent that the queen’s reign could soon end and the fight for the throne has begun,” an unnamed source said.

Camilla Parker Bowles Allegedly Spreading Rumors About William, Kate
Prince Charles and Prince William will, allegedly, have the most to lose. However, their respective wives -- Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton -- are said to be butting heads behind closed doors.
“Camilla is the catalyst. There’s a buzz in royal circles that she’s been spreading lies about William and Kate’s marriage, insinuating they play up to the cameras to come across as this picture-perfect couple, when behind closed doors, that couldn’t be further from the truth,” the source said.
The Duchess of Cornwall has allegedly been telling everyone that Prince William is not loyal to his wife. And she’s also telling other people that the royal family has not forgotten all the rumors surrounding Prince William and Rose Hanbury.
“Royal staff also claim to have overheard Camilla taking digs at Kate behind her back, suggesting she’s a working-class social climber. But when Kate got wind of Camilla saying these things, she hit the roof. People think Kate is sweet and innocent, but she can hold her own,” the source said.
Rumors regarding Camilla and Middleton fighting over The Crown have been circulating online for years.

Camilla Disinvited Queen Elizabeth To Prince Louis’s Christening?
Three years ago, OK! magazine via New Idea claimed that Camilla asked the queen not to attend Prince Louis’ christening, but Prince Charles’s wife did not inform Middleton beforehand.
“It was a carefully orchestrated power move by Camilla Parker Bowles to show her daughter-in-law who’s boss. She’s terrified Duchess Kate and Prince William will overtake her and Prince Charles and seize the crown when the queen passes. She’s doing everything she can to make sure that doesn’t happen,” the source said.
Middleton didn’t allegedly want to confront Camilla for what she did because she wanted Prince Louis’ christening to take place in peace. But after the gathering, the Duchess of Cambridge planned to confront her mother-in-law.
“Kate's decided it's time to stop being so polite. She's told William they need to fight back because they should be focusing on modernizing the monarchy and ruling with integrity, which seems incapable of - and that this behavior is proof of that,” the unnamed insider said.

Can Queen Elizabeth Change The Order Of Succession?
All the rumors pitting Middleton and Camilla against each other result from Prince Charles and Prince William’s alleged battle for the throne.

According to Reader’s Digest, the monarch doesn’t have any power to change her successor because it’s against the 1701 Act of Settlement. This law requires that the monarch’s heir will also be his or her direct descendant.
Since Prince Charles is the queen’s eldest child, he will automatically succeed after she passes away or abdicates. The latter won’t happen because Her Majesty previously pledged her commitment to The Crown and said that she will serve the monarchy until the day she dies.
In the same manner, Prince William will only ascend the throne after Prince Charles dies or abdicates. Since he is Prince Charles’ eldest son, he automatically became his dad’s successor after his birth.

The only way for the line of succession to change is if the Parliament will adjust it. The queen doesn’t have any power over political laws, so the Parliament is the only one that can change the line of succession.
“The succession to the throne is regulated not only through descent but also by Parliamentary statute. The order of succession is the sequence of members of the Royal Family in the order in which they stand in line to the throne. The basis for the succession was determined in the constitutional developments of the seventeenth century, which culminated in the Bill of Rights (1689) and the Act of Settlement (1701), the royal family website explained.
