In the midst of the biggest crisis the royal family has faced in recent memory, there is concern that, after less than two years as Prince of Wales, Prince William may not be fit to take the throne.
And it seems these concerns don’t just come from fearful outsiders.
According to a new report from In touchKing Charles himself is worried that William may not be ready to take on the role of monarch.
Charles, of course, spent decades preparing for his ascension, but William, unfortunately, may not have the same luxury.
At 76, Charles is fighting cancerand although the severity of his condition and the organs affected remain unclear (more on that later), inside sources say the king is preparing for the worst.
This means preparing William to serve as monarch, a role Charles will only assume in 2022.
Obviously, William has been in the spotlight his entire life, but the transition from Prince of Wales to King of the United Kingdom is difficult to navigate, and concerns about the heir’s qualifications are said to be exacerbating the current pressure on the royals.
Prince William: incapable of governing or simply unprepared?
“Charles knows the pressures of being the monarch,” said a source In touch.
“And he’s just not sure William is ready to take his place. It seems premature and there could be consequences.”
One problem, it seems, is William’s apparent lack of maturity.
Yes, Prince Harry may have a reputation for being the family’s resident party animal, but it looks like William still enjoys the occasional pint or four at his local hangout.
According to In touchWilliam is known for drinking a few beers after work, followed by “several glasses of wine with dinner”, leading to him “waking up grumpy”.
“Charles advised him that there can be no more carefree trips to the pub,” says the source.
There are also concerns about William’s temperament, especially after a stint in Harry’s Memories detailed a physical altercation between the brothers.
“Word is that the fight Harry mentioned in Save It wasn’t the first to occur,” says a second source.
“There had been a growing rivalry between William and Harry since they were little and things sometimes got heated between them.”
All of this has caused great concern, as William has more things to do these days than ever before.
In addition to the fact that William’s wife, Kate Middleton is fighting cancerThere have been rumors that the king’s condition is much worse than the public has been led to believe.
In fact, one source claims that Charles has pancreatic cancer and it may not be long for this world.
King Charles’ prognosis: is it the worst case scenario?
“He has pancreatic cancer and has at most two years to live,” the source said. In touch.
The source adds that Charles “is willing to try any treatment to prolong his life for a few years at least,” but is well aware that when it comes to preparing William for the throne, time is of the essence.
“William does a great job of putting on a smile and a calm expression in public, but it bothers him,” the source adds.
