Royal fans fear the worst as reports suggest Charles is leaning on William and Catherine to take over duties
Prince William and Catherine may be preparing sooner than expected for their roles as future King and Queen as King Charles’ health continues to draw concern.
According to a recent report by Radar Online, the monarch has become increasingly frail, often relying on a walking stick not for tradition, but for physical support. Sources close to the Palace claim that Charles privately acknowledges his health is failing while publicly insisting he is doing fine.
“He knows the end is coming,” an insider revealed, adding that he has turned to whisky to ease both the pain and despair brought on by his undisclosed cancer battle.
Since Buckingham Palace confirmed his diagnosis in February 2024, the King has been undergoing treatment. Insiders say his condition has worsened in recent months, with his cane now an essential aid rather than a ceremonial accessory.
Amid these struggles, Charles has reportedly begun shifting more responsibility onto William and Catherine, entrusting them with major royal engagements to prepare them for the future of the monarchy.
