The queen will leave office and hand over the reins to Prince Charles when he turns 95, a royal expert has claimed.

Robert Jobson stated on True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat that His Majesty will retire from real life in 2021.

“I still firmly believe that when the Queen turns 95, she will leave office,” the royal biographer said on the show.

Jobson also claimed in the interview that Diana, the Princess of Wales, thought she was “more powerful than the Queen” prior to her 1995 BBC Panorama primetime interview.

He also described Prince Harry’s recent comments about his subconscious racial bias as “blatant hypocrisy.”

Another royal expert backed the claim, saying that the queen will be obliged to hand over the monarchy to Charles.

“I don’t think he will,” Newsweek Royal reporter Jack Royston said on the show. “But realistically, he will get to a point where he has handed everything over to Charles and then how do you look your son in the eye and tell him that he is not going to be king?”

Jobson previously told the Daily Mail: “I understand the Queen has given the matter a lot of thought and believes that if she is still alive at 95, she will seriously consider handing over the reign to Carlos.

“Her Majesty is aware of her age and wants to ensure that, when the time comes, the transition from the crown is seamless.”

Jobson’s comments come just ahead of the 25th anniversary of Diana’s controversial BBC Panorama interview.

“That period between the announcement of separation [of Charles and Diana]she [Diana] in fact, I was about to get everything I wanted, “he said.

“But she did this [Panorama] and I think he thought she was more powerful than the Queen. The Queen thought enough was enough and the shutters were lowered. “

Jobson also drew attention to the “hypocrisy” of Prince Harry.

“I remember him making racial slurs on an Asian officer who was filmed by himself and distributed by his friends and had to apologize for making racial comments,” he said.

“I find Harry telling everyone else that they are structurally racist hypocrites.”

Jobson also went on to discuss reports of Prince Andrew’s return to royal duties.

“Can you come back from this? No. No way can you come back from this,” he said. “He has to be cleared by the FBI. If he goes there, it opens up to a big can of worms. Whatever he was doing at parties was disgusting. Andrew’s association with Epstein leaves him totally exposed.”
