King Charles waited 70 years to ascend to the throne, but unfortunately, all indications point to his reign being a very short one.
In the meantime, his son and heir Prince William is starting to make his moves and to prepare himself to the responsibility that awaits him.
Because of that, William’s relationship dynamic with his ailing father, Charles, has considerably ‘shifted’ since the succession planning came into play.
The New York Post reported:
“As the eldest son of the monarch, 76, and the late Princess Diana, it’s no surprise that the Prince of Wales is gearing up to take over the reins as future king.”
Multiple reports say their relationship has been tense in recent months.
“’The dynamics have shifted’, an insider told the outlet, with another adding that the sovereign ‘has wanted to be the monarch for decades’.
‘Even though he’s battling cancer, he’s not letting that get in the way of his desire to be successful on the throne or a dynamic leader’, the source said.”
But William is already preparing for his ascension.
“’Like his father, he takes being a success in the royal role very seriously’, the insider said, adding that when it comes to the topic of succession within the Firm, the conversation is a ‘sensitive’ one.
‘There’s occasional tension’, the source said, adding that William is likely in talks about transitioning titles and responsibilities, as well as the current state of the UK government to ensure ‘a smooth transition’.”
The succession plans were fast-tracked earlier this year after Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis.
“’For the most part, Charles is doing well’, the source said of the king, but adds that there are still ‘some concerns, and he knows his reign will be up soon’.”
But Charles’ problems with his heir pale when compared it’s nothing compared to the struggle with younger son Prince Harry.
