King Charles has reportedly begun grooming Prince William to take over the throne, after realizing his time is limited due to his ongoing battle with cancer. While the monarch was previously reluctant to step down, sources claim he is now focusing his attention on making sure William is ready to lead the monarchy.
A royal insider said Radar Online that Charles is overwhelmed by his own health struggles and has decided to prioritize his son’s preparation for rule. “The king realizes his time on earth is limited,” the insider said. “He is now focused on making peace with God and making sure he is ready to take over after William is gone.”
The source revealed that the king has sought solace in religion as he faces the physical and emotional toll of his illness. Charles was reportedly seen in an “emotional” state during a recent conversation with a Church of England elder, with witnesses describing him as visibly distraught.
As part of his preparations, Charles has expressed relief and confidence in William and Kate Middleton’s ability to maintain the monarchy. “They say the monarchy is now in good health and in safe hands for another generation,” the insider added.
The monarch is also said to be overjoyed at Kate’s recovery from cancer, both on a personal level and for the future stability of the royal family. Charles is reportedly reassured by knowing the couple will lead the monarchy into the future, cementing his decision to hand over the leadership to his eldest son.
The development marks a significant shift in royal family dynamics, as Charles focuses on ensuring a smooth transition and the continued strength of the institution.
