Queen Elizabeth Will Not Lay Wreath at Cenotaph in 2017

The transcript discusses the Queen's decision to delegate the wreath-laying duty on Remembrance Sunday to her son, the Prince of Wales, due to practical reasons related to her age. Despite this change, the Queen remains active, with a busy schedule and continued involvement in royal duties. The royal family is gradually transitioning responsibilities to younger members, as seen with Prince William taking on more official duties. The decision not to lay the wreath herself is significant but not unprecedented, as it has happened before during overseas tours or pregnancies.
