Princess Kate is back in the full swing of royal engagements and is doing well with her ongoing recovery. A new report suggests that she and Prince William are preparing to govern with King Charles's full blessing.
“It’s not a subject that people really talk about very openly, but everyone is aware that Charles’ health is failing,” the source told In Touch Weekly.
“The last thing Kate and William want to do is to put a case forward for Charles to abdicate. They want him to go on as long as he physically wants to. But there is that horrible reality of the fact he’s not getting any younger, and his condition means that the time to step up will be sooner rather than later in the years ahead," it went on.
Princess Kate, 42, disclosed her cancer diagnosis in March and declared in a video published on September 9 that she had finished her preventive chemotherapy treatments. “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” the queen-to-be stated.
She declared she was “looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months.”
Princess Kate and her husband, 42, have been assuming increasing responsibilities within the royal family as her recovery progresses, The National Enquirer reported. The future king and queen's return to public life follows more cancer news for King Charles, 75, who had recently paused treatments to continue his break-neck work schedule and tour of Australia.
Another insider claimed this was "just another example of the extraordinary work ethic he got from his mother."
However, the source indicated that the Prince and Princess of Wales are getting closer to the day they ascend to the throne, even though Charles' cancer battle is progressing. He is receiving the finest medical care available in the United Kingdom.
“The reality is they have to prepare themselves for that eventuality and brace themselves to deal with it, both mentally and in practice,” the insider stated.
“This is becoming more and more at the forefront of their minds. And Charles couldn’t be happier knowing that his legacy will eventually be taken over by them.”
The heir apparent and his obedient bride, Princess Kate, must assume their duties as responsible, professional royals, given that the family has dismissed the wayward Prince Harry and his American wife, Meghan Markle, as per TIME Magazine. King Charles is aware of their accomplishments thus far.
According to the royal insider, Prince William has spent his entire life preparing, but Princess Kate has proven she is just as capable. They will be majestic rulers.
The fact that the monarchy will be cared for by Prince William's magnificent choice of a lifelong companion and future queen has relieved King Charles of a great deal of anxiety.
