King Charles has been forced to slow down due to his cancer treatment as Prince William and Kate Middleton take the lead, a royal expert has revealed.
Speaking with People Magazine, the monarch is still carrying out Royal duties, but he has had to accept that he can’t do everything like he used to.
Hence, the Prince and Princess of Wales are taking on more responsibilities and getting ready to take over the monarchy sooner than they thought.
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told the publication, “Although the King is carrying out his duties with typical determination, he has had to accept limitations during his cancer treatment.”
“As a result, William has been taking on more responsibilities, and he and Kate have been preparing for their future roles sooner than they would have expected.”
Sharing insights into the matter, a royal source also told the publication, “There’s a sense of calm before the storm.”
“They are next in line for the biggest job of their lives, and of course, Kate’s health has taken priority, but it’s also allowed everyone to take a step back and figure out what’s important right now.”
