Concerns about the Monarchy are raised by King Charles III and Kate Middleton’s Surgeries: “Only 4 are under 70” (Exclusive)
The recent medical treatments of Princess Kate Middleton and King Charles III have raised questions regarding the future of the British monarchy.
It demonstrates your opposition to a “slimmed down” monarchy. Regarding the direct line of succession, royal analyst Richard Fitzwilliams exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 17. “Only four [people] are under 70 as it is.”
Charles, 75, will have a “corrective procedure” after being diagnosed with an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace said hours ago. Charles, who succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to the throne in September 2022, will subsequently postpone any public appearances while he heals. (A spokesman described his condition as “benign.”).
Additionally, Kate, 42, recently had surgery. Kensington Palace revealed on Wednesday that she underwent “planned abdominal surgery” and is now recovering in a hospital in London. Kate, who is wed to Prince William, Charles’ son, canceled all of her public appearances in order to recuperate. William, 41, likewise canceled his planned appearances to support his wife and help out more around the house with childcare, an insider told Us. (Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, are William and Kate’s shared children.)
Following his accession to the throne, Charles expressed his intention to cut back on the number of senior working royals. Right now, the only people who do official public obligations are him and his wife, Queen Camilla, William and Kate, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Duchess Sophie. There may be problems as a result of Charles, William, and Kate being temporarily disabled.
Fitzwilliams told Us that William “is a Counsellor of State, who, in theory, could stand in for the monarch in the event that he is abroad or of incapacity.” Counsellors of State are able to substitute for the king when needed. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are among the few who clearly would not be asked to.
