The 92-year-old monarch held private meetings with her eldest son for months to discuss state issues.
In addition, the Prince of Wales has been added to the mailing list of shipping boxes that the Queen sends from Whitehall.
Royal expert Robert Jobson has stated that these measures are being taken so that, if the queen does, she will transfer all executive powers to the Charles, making him the Prince Regent.
He wrote in the Daily Mail: "In case of death or inability to continue to live ill, the queen has ensured that his heir is fully prepared and ready to take over.
"Some relatives of the monarch say that if she reaches the age of 95, she will make a monumental decision and choose to formally authorize Charles to assume the leadership of his reign.
"She will officially transfer to him all the executive powers as Regent Prince until his death, when he will become king.
"This would allow him to deceive the question of not fulfilling his oath of coronation to God and his people to serve as reigning queen until his death."
The Prince of Wales has already taken more responsibility by traveling abroad to represent her, as he does this week in West Africa.
He also reportedly worked 14 hours a day and made more than 600 engagements a year.
Mr. Jobson said it shows how "it is really a job-sharing monarchy, whose heir is the spearhead of the House of Windsor, but who does not follow her. ".
The queen is in good health and could live as a centenary like her mother, but the royal experts are convinced that the monarch has assured that there would be "the sweetest of the estates with the minimum of complications".
The Regency Act was last invoked in 1810, during the reign of George III, when he became mentally ill.
His eldest son took the title of Prince Regent, and when his father died 10 years later, he became George IV.
The Regency Act was reformed in 1937 to allow the creation of a regency if "the ruler is for a determined cause not available for the performance of these duties".
However, the list of causes is not specified, which suggests that it is vague enough for monarchs to allow their heirs to succeed.
