The Queen will reportedly not return to full duty and may only visit Buckingham Palace twice a week, royal commentators claim.
Despite the Queen returning to work just days after Prince Philip's death and the planned State Opening of Parliament to go ahead, the Monarch is said to be stepping down and will "fade away from royal duties gracefully".
The Queen has spent the last year self-isolating alongside her late husband the Duke at Windsor Castle - where she is reportedly now planning on spending the majority of her time in the future.
It is claimed Her Majesty may return to Buckingham Palace only two days a week in order to attend meetings.
Royal commentators claim the Queen will no longer fully commit to a rammed schedule of receptions and garden parties - of which she has attended hundreds across the decades.
Her Majesty turned 95 last week - four days after burying her husband.
Former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt told the New York Times: “Fundamentally, the queen will fade away gracefully.
“Covid has helped in the sense that it has accelerated what any sensible 95-year-old woman would want to do, which is not stand on your feet all day long.”
Following Prince Philip ’s death, he is to be designated the Queen's official "consort” and will join his mother for the ceremony on May 11.
Before The Duke of Edinburgh died aged 99 earlier this month, Charles visited him in hospital and the pair talked about the future.
In a bedside heart-to-heart, Prince Philip is said to have given Charles advice on how to look after the Queen and lead the royal family.
The Queen's children are also expected to begin taking on increased responsibilities within the firm.
This week it was reported Prince Charles will take on his late father's mantle by accompanying the Queen to the State Opening of Parliament.
This will not be the first time The Prince of Wales has accompanied the Queen to the State Opening of Parliament, but it is believed he will take on a bigger role this time.
