Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly taking steps to prepare for the death of King Charles.
Charles was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and the specifics of his condition remain unclear.
Insiders say the king is suffering from pancreatic cancer, which has one of the highest mortality rates of any disease.
The news has not been confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
The king’s trip to Australia briefly raised hopes of a full recovery. But the lack of official updates is troubling.
And the latest reports suggest that to prepare for everything that happens, William and Kate are getting ready to become king and queen very soon.
Kate and William are reportedly ready to take over from Charles
“It’s not a topic that people talk about openly. But everyone knows that Charles’ health is failing,” said a source close to the situation. In Touch.
“The last thing Kate and William want to do is file a case for Charles to kidnap them. They want him to continue until he wants,” the insider added.
“But there’s the stark reality that he’s not getting any younger, and his condition means the time to step up will be sooner rather than later next year.”
Charles is 75 years old, and Will and Kate will be ready to challenge for the throne even if he is not fighting cancer.
But the preparations have added a level of urgency due to the king’s health struggles.

“The reality is that they have to prepare themselves for that to happen and prepare themselves to deal with it, mentally and in practice,” the source said.
“He will be a wonderful king. William has been preparing all his life, but Kate has shown herself that she can be,” added the royal insider.
Obviously, the timing was less than ideal, as Kate also recently battled cancer.
But the source said she and William are ready to take on the duties of the monarchy.

“Charles is very happy that William has chosen such a wonderful partner and the future queen. It is very worrying because he knows that the monarchy will be in good hands,” the insider said.
“It was more and more at the forefront of his mind. And Charles couldn’t have been happier to know that his inheritance was going to be taken by him.
Charles recently took a break from treatment for an official visit to Australia.
Another source described the trip as “just another example of the incredible work ethic he got from his mother.”
