Reports suggest that King Charles has been hit with a form of cancer whose specifics remain shrouded in mystery. As a result of this devastating medical blow, he's set to step down from the throne, passing the scepter to his eldest son, Prince William. The abrupt nature of this decision has sent shockwaves through the royal circles, particularly affecting William, who finds himself thrust into a position he's not exactly thrilled about.
In the aftermath of the diagnosis, the looming abdication has triggered a wave of anxiety in Prince William. Those in his inner circle spill the tea, revealing that he's not exactly thrilled about the prospect of donning the crown and ruling the kingdom.
From Radar Online:
"William is horrified his workaholic father is quitting — it's the last thing he expected," the insider told the Globe last month before his health issues were revealed. "Charles always vowed he would use his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as an example and rule until his dying day."
"After all, he waited 70 years for the crown. But his rapidly declining health has him starring death in the eye," the insider added.
The well-placed source claimed King Charles has "decided he wants to spend his final days quietly with the love of his life. But William is beside himself; he's not ready and is begging Charles to reconsider."
Prince William's private life is said to be in shambles. His wife, Princess Kate, 42, just spent two weeks in a hospital after undergoing grueling abdominal surgery for what insiders reportedly claim was ovarian cancer, though the palace officially denies the diagnosis.
"Kate faces a long uphill battle to get back on her feet — and isn't expected back in public before Easter," the insider revealed.
"William is begging his father to remain on the job until nature takes its course. He and Kate want to spend more time raising their three young kids before ascending to the throne."
