Due to her health condition, Queen Elizabeth is "handing over" many of her duties.

Recently, the official list of jobs of the British monarch has changed for the first time in more than a decade.

According to The Telegraph, the Queen's role was rewritten by Buckingham Palace in the palace's annual report, and many of the duties she "must fulfill" as monarch were removed.

Those duties used to be a 13-point list, such as "hosting and conducting state visits" and "meeting with the Prime Minister", but now the report simply notes that her role "includes a range of parliamentary and diplomatic duties".

In particular, instead of making state visits, she now simply "hosts" other heads of state.

The Telegraph also notes that the "Queen's duty schedule" has been extended to "royal program visits" as "The Queen is heavily supported by other members of the Royal Family who carry out official duties on Her Majesty's behalf".

The changes come amid the Queen's mobility problems as Prince Charles takes on more of her responsibilities.
