King Charles dashed his son Prince William’s ambitions of becoming King sooner by showing the world that he is still “very much” in power and will not abdicate lightly.
The king met with United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Runak barely weeks after the Palace revealed to the public that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
Since then, various sources have stated that Prince William will succeed to the throne sooner than planned because Charles is no longer able to carry his royal obligations.
In Touch Weekly even stated that William, the Prince of Wales, has already begun organizing his own coronation.
According to the insider, William has already “taken more authority at the palace, staying in frequent communication with Charles’ advisors,” and that he “is basically the Firm’s point man right now.”
However, a body language specialist, after evaluating the meeting between Charles and Rishi Sunak, claims that the king can continue to perform his duties despite his cancer struggle.
Judi James, a reporter for The Mirror, said, “The long, firm handshake with his PM plus the way he lowered himself into his chair with perfect balance and both hands on his knees rather than steadying himself on the arms of the chair suggested the King is keen to be seen as eager and able to continue with his duties since his cancer diagnosis, while his active gesticulation as he sat and chatted to Rishi suggested a man still very much in charge.”
