Queen Elizabeth II Has Passed a Big Responsibility Down to Kate Middleton

As Queen Elizabeth II approaches her 90th birthday, she's lightening her workload and letting go of a few responsibilities. One such role is her position as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which she's held for 64 years. According to a new report from the International Business Times, the Duchess of Cambridge will assume the role this coming Summer. That's not the only position the Queen's relinquishing either — she's also passing her role as patron of the Rugby Football Union to Prince Harry after 65 years. Kate Middleton, of course, is well suited for her new position: she regularly attends Wimbledon and was even spotted getting all loved up with Prince William there this past Summer.
