King Charles reluctant to abdicate, hands over reign to Prince William?
Queen Camilla has not felt compelled to speak with Kate Middleton about what it’s like to be queen
King Charles seems to be reluctant to abdicate and hands over the power to his elder son Prince William, a royal expert has claimed.
Speaking to the Fox News Digital, royal expert Christopher Andersen reflected on Kate and King Charles bond, saying “Because of their shared cancer battle, Kate and the king have strengthened their bond in ways neither could have imagined.”
He continued, “King Charles was so impressed with her grace and grit that he bestowed a singular honor on Kate, making her a Royal Companion of Honour, an unmistakable sign of his faith in her ability to help carry the monarchy forward.”
However, the royal expert said, “But beyond that, the king is not about to be giving Kate advice about being a future queen.
“That would simply give oxygen to the notion that he might not be around much longer, and Charles III intends to stay put on the throne for years to come.”
Andersen continued, “For much of the same reason, Camilla has not felt compelled to speak with Kate about what it’s like to be queen. While Charles is fond of Kate, the best that can be said about the current queen and the next one is that they have a grudging respect for each other.”
