Ascending sooner than planned: Prince William's potential rise to throne amid King Charles III's illness
Less than a fortnight ago, via an announcement from Buckingham Palace, it was declared that King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer. The illness was detected at an early stage, and the king promptly started treatment. King Charles III suspended his obligations throughout the period of his treatment, yet he continues to routinely assess the contents of the so-called red boxes.
According to foreign media, the king is allegedly contemplating the situation of possible abdication. In such a case, Prince William, who is presently filling in for his father in certain duties, would ascend to the throne. As per a source, the crowning could take place sooner than expected.
Charles can't help thinking about stepping down for the welfare of the monarchy. This means that William and Kate might be crowned king and queen far sooner than anyone anticipated - a source revealed to the In Touch portal.
King Charles III might need to think about abdication. William could replace him
According to an unnamed source, King Charles III could be anxious over the idea of not leaving a legacy. However, Queen Camilla is attempting to urge him to abdicate so they can enjoy some tranquillity. Another significant point seems to be the laudable performance of duties by his potential successor.
The thought of not being able to make his mark as a king, is tough to accept. Camilla is encouraging him to relax and relish their golden years. The fact that Charles has great confidence in William and Kate surely helps. Ultimately, he will act in the monarchy's best interest - the source added.
There has been some speculation over the coronation ceremony as well. Allegedly, William and Kate would prefer a more modest event. As per information received by the portal, Charles' Coronation seemed overly grandiose to them.
Given the situation, their coronation won't be lavish-William thinks his father's coronation was excessive. William and Kate are not in favour of traditional pomp and circumstances, which could make them appear out of touch. Therefore, the ceremony will be significantly scaled down. A simple religious ceremony and a modest reception at a cost of no more than £11 million could be expected - surmised the source.
