Following a recent health scare, King Charles is reportedly contemplating a crucial decision regarding succession, with potential implications for Prince Harry, according to royal experts.
Diagnosed with cancer last month, the King's illness has prompted discussions about the future of the monarchy.
Royal author Tom Quinn revealed to The Mirror that succession planning is primarily focused on Prince William, cautioning that Prince Harry may be left out of discussions if his father decides to step down early.
"Harry will also be excluded if and when plans are made for Charles to step down early - Harry will be told only when the public is told because so far as the royal family is concerned, Harry is now just a member of the public who used to be a royal," Quinn explained.
Quinn further emphasized the secretive nature of succession planning, suggesting that recent developments hint at the severity of King Charles's condition.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry's recent memoir, in which he criticized various members of the Royal Family, has heightened tensions within the monarchy.
Despite the rift, Harry has expressed his desire to mend fences with the Royal Family and has plans for future visits to the UK.
The unfolding events underscore the weight of the decisions facing King Charles amidst his health concerns and the ongoing complexities within the royal household.
