ROYALSPrince William Is 'Not Ready' to Take Over the Throne as His Father King Charles' Cancer Diagnosis Is Revealed
Prince William may not be ready to fill King Charles' shoes.
After the King's tragic cancer diagnosis, insiders close the royal family claim the 41-year-old heir to the throne may not be ready to take on his father's duties in the possible event of his passing.
Prince William is not ready to take over for King Charles.
"William is horrified his workaholic father is quitting — it’s the last thing he expected," the source claimed. "Charles always vowed he would use his mother, Queen Elizabeth, 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 staring death in the eye," the insider continued of the alleged situation. "He’s 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."
King Charles was recently diagnosed with cancer.
"William’s begging his father to remain on the job until nature takes its course," the source explained of his son's alleged wish.
The past few months have been drama-filled for the father-of-three as his wife, Princess Kate, was in the hospital for two weeks for abdominal surgery.
"Kate faces a long, uphill battle to get back on her feet — and isn’t expected back in public before Easter,” the insider alleged. "He and Kate want to spend more time raising their three young kids before ascending to the throne."
Princess Kate was recently in the hospital for two weeks undergoing abdominal surgery.
