Most of the coverage has carefully stated that this is likely the last Jubilee we’ll see for many years. Especially with the Queens ailing health recently, it’s very unlikely we’ll get an Oak/Pearl Jubilee in 10 years time. Maybe we’ll get a 75th Jubilee, but doubtful.
Let’s say if the Queen passes at the same age as her mother (that’s 5 years from now), that means Charles will become King at the age of 78. Therefore he would be aged 103 by time we get to the Silver Jubilee, unlikely sadly!
If Charles passes at the same age as his father, William will be King at the age of 65. He’d reach a Silver Jubilee at the age of 90. So still looks a bit dicey even then, and that won’t even be until the year 2072.
So yes, it’s likely we’ve seen the last Jubilee for many years. So the spectacular Royal TV coverage we have seen in recent years will likely just be restricted to upcoming Coronations and Royal Weddings.
