Queen Elizabeth II Delegates Wreath Ceremony to Prince Charles

• nytimes.com By SUSANNE FOWLER

Often praised for being rigorous about her royal obligations, the queen, 91, had delegated the Remembrance Sunday duty to Charles, 68, who is next in line to the British throne.

Buckingham Palace announced the change last month, a move seen by royals observers as a major step in the shift to the monarchy's next generation.

The queen watched the ceremony unfold from a nearby Foreign and Commonwealth Office balcony in Whitehall on a chilly morning, flanked by her husband, Prince Philip, and Charles's wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Prime Minister Theresa May and the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, were among the officials in attendance.
