The health of King Charles, who is battling cancer, would have worsened, causing concern among those close to him, Sky News writes, citing a report by The Daily Beast tabloid.
This prompted a series of major changes, including adjustments to plans for his upcoming funeral. The Daily Beast’s Tom Sykes reported that the king’s friends are worried, saying it’s “not good at all.” One of the king’s close associates emphasized the king’s determination to beat the disease, although the situation is worse than thought.
“He is determined to beat the disease and is doing everything possible to make that happen. They all remain optimistic, but in fact, he is not well at all. His condition is much worse than he lets it be known,” said the source quoted by the Daily Beast tabloid.
Royal expert Tina Brown highlighted that this situation also affected Prince William and Kate Middleton, who were preparing to focus on raising their children in a more private environment after the Princess of Wales was also diagnosed with cancer. Sykes revealed that the thought of coming to the throne soon causes anxiety for William and his wife.
Charles’ apparently failing health has encouraged Buckingham Palace officials to regularly update a several hundred-page document outlining the monarch’s royal funeral plans.
Military officials confirmed that ‘Operation Menai Bridge’, named after the suspension bridge that connects the island of Anglesey to mainland Wales, had been updated repeatedly, but stressed that ‘planning for the worst’ was ‘what the military do’ , considering the magnitude of such an event.
In February, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles underwent surgery for a benign prostate problem and was later diagnosed with cancer. Charles, 75, is undergoing regular treatment and has been advised to postpone public duties while he focuses on his recovery.
