New RSGB Patron?

Interim RSGB Patron.

Ham radio has long been beset by a huge skew towards the much older age groups.  This extended to the RSGB's patron, HRH Prince Philip of Denmark and Greece.  He, of course, is being put to permanent rest this weekend.  Not that he ever seems to have done much for amateur radio, other than tokenistically visit some exhibitions and such royal nonsense.

Dead.

So, which of the royals will now take over, if anyone?  It's a pity the Duchess of Sussex (a.k.a. Meghan Markle) has abandoned her royal role; we could have done with the glitz, glamour, youth, gender and racial rebalancing of the 'male, pale and stale' RSGB that she could have brought.
