Prince William and Kate Middleton have endured a lot together during their marriage. However, their toughest challenges may still lie ahead of them. Sources are buzzing with speculation that the Prince and Princess of Wales will soon be crowned King and Queen. Of course, this will happen much more quickly than they could have anticipated. Sadly, as King Charles battles a cancer diagnosis, the future of the royal family appears to be in question.
As King Charles continues to fight for his health, Prince William has been said to be picking up the slack. Of course, as the next in line to the throne, William would be the person to step in and step up when his father needs extra help. Sources tell In Touch that because of William’s impressive performance, Charles may consider stepping down and allowing his oldest son to ascend to the throne.
Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Preparing To Become King and Queen Soon
“The queen would be so proud of how well he’s managed to compartmentalize everything and prioritize his duties to the crown,” the insider dished. “Charles is definitely impressed by how easily William has filled his shoes. Charles can’t help but consider stepping down instead, for the sake of the monarchy — meaning William and Kate will be crowned king and queen much sooner than anyone expected,” the source continued.
As Prince William has been said to be pulling his weight in the absence of King Charles, Kate Middleton has also reportedly been busy with her own royal duties. Although Kate recently underwent surgery, she’s reportedly doing all she can until she fully returns as a full-time working royal in April. “The timing isn’t ideal, but she’s ready to step up. They’ve both been preparing for this for years,” the source tells the outlet.
The future of Prince William, Kate Middleton, King Charles, and the royal family remains to be seen. However, William has been preparing his entire life to take the throne. He seems up to the task, and so does his wife.
