An atmosphere of tension prevails in Buckingham Palace, as planning begins for King Charles’ funeral in the event of his death after being diagnosed with cancer, as many are concerned about the possibility of Prince William assuming the throne sooner than expected.
Prince William has become more influential in the royal family since his father’s diagnosis, which has some concerned about the future of the monarchy
The British Daily Beast stated in its report that it is difficult to understand the actions of the Royal Palace since February 5, 2024, when King Charles announced that he had cancer.
There were expectations that the king would live to the same age as his mother, 96, or his father, 99, but now those optimistic about this seem to have been greatly diminished in number.
The newspaper explained that the king’s condition is serious, and this is the reason that prompted Prince Harry to travel to see his father, and the king agreed to meet him, indicating that Harry is more likely to be able to conclude a deal with King Charles III than William.
Royal commentator Tom Sykes believes that there are special challenges for Prince Harry, who may face difficulty returning to the royal family during William’s reign.
He points out that Harry was hoping to repair the relationship with his father, but the differences between him and his brother still exist, especially after the release of his controversial book.
On the other hand, Prince William faces additional challenges due to the health problems suffered by his wife, Kate Middleton, which increases the pressure on him as he prepares for his reign.
Preparations for King Charles’ funeral, known as Operation Menai Bridge, begin in earnest although the King remains hopeful of his recovery. This plan is similar to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, and comes to ensure that the king is honored properly.
Regarding Queen Camilla, reports indicate that her relationship with Prince William is complicated. Although he had forgiven her, William had never loved her.
The king’s death will also leave her in a difficult position, especially since she does not have much wealth, which may affect her future within the royal family.
Members of the royal court and aides in particular are said to be concerned about their future once William becomes king.
As the royal family faces these major transformations, all eyes remain on whether the death of King Charles will bring the two brothers together again, or will Harry stay away from royal life?
