King Charles dashed Prince William’s aspirations of becoming King sooner by demonstrating that he is still firmly in control and not willing to step down easily.
The king talked with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Runak, shortly after the Palace surprised everyone with the announcement of his cancer diagnosis.
However, several reports have told that Prince William would be ascended to the throne sooner than expected as Charles cannot carry out Royal duties anymore.
A report by In Touch Weekly even says that William, the Prince of Wales, has already started planning his own coronation ceremony.
The insider said that William has already “taken more control at the palace, staying in constant contact with Charles’ aides,” adding, “He’s basically the Firm’s point man right now.”
However, a body language expert, after analyzing the meeting between Charles and Rishi Sunak, has claimed that the monarch is able to continue his duties despite his battle with cancer.
Judi James told The Mirror, “The long, firm handshake with his PM plus the way he lowered himself into his chair with perfect balance and both hands on his knees rather than steadying himself on the arms of the chair suggested the King is keen to be seen as eager and able to continue with his duties since his cancer diagnosis, while his active gesticulation as he sat and chatted to Rishi suggested a man still very much in charge.”
