RoyaltyThe fact that King Charles (75) is battling cancer hit the British like a bombshell. Collectively they have their hearts set on the future. Although Charles is doing well and his medical team is optimistic, the British press is already daring to speculate about what would happen if the monarch were to abdicate or even die. “Charles’ worst nightmare is coming true,” the tabloids say.
It was the British Roya Nikkhah, editor and royal expert of the ‘Sunday Times’, who lit the fuse. On British television, she discussed Charles’ condition, but also used the moment to discuss the future with William as monarch. She has already announced the name he will bear when he is crowned king.
“It will be William V,” she said confidently. According to Nikkhah, William plans to keep the name his parents gave him at birth, because that is how he is known all over the world. But Nikkhah was also clear about what his rule will look like: “He will be a very radical monarch. The monarchy will look very different very soon. A lot will change.”
“Worst nightmare”
Several British newspapers and websites picked up Nikkhah’s statements. Various articles appeared about the future of the monarchy, with William at the helm. “This announcement could not be more worrying for King Charles,” it said. “Buckingham Palace is doing its best to appoint senior royals as replacements for the monarch, but the truth is that all eyes are on William.”
Moreover, the British press seems to doubt the future with King Charles. He is not expected to fully recover in the short term, with all the consequences that entails. For example, the BBC already reported that William “has a golden opportunity to show what he would be like as king.”
“The most feared thing for Buckingham Palace was that the abdication requests would revive again, and that is exactly what is happening now,” it continued. “It is ironic how the monarch who waited until he was 75 to be crowned now has to experience how public opinion is already sinking its teeth into a new succession to the throne. Anticipation to see the Prince of Wales on the throne is growing non-stop.”
