British royal family news shows that Queen Elizabeth has been sidelined for at least two weeks with a mystery ailment and the nation watches and wonders what’s next for the 95-year old monarch.

But one royal insider notes that, “The Dukes of Sussex and York are still listed as ‘counsellors of state’ – meaning that, if the Queen is unwell or abroad, they can serve in her stead.” Aye caramba, someone fix that memo, stat.
