King Charles Demands Prince William Sign Important Waiver Following Health Scare
King Charles III reportedly insisted that Prince William sign a waiver after his cancer diagnosis, according to details from Robert Jobson's new biography, Catherine, The Princess of Wales. The biography chronicles Princess Kate's transformation from a university student to a mother of three and future Queen.
The disagreement emerged when King Charles, temporarily stepping back from his duties due to his cancer diagnosis, confronted Prince William about a sensitive issue: the prince's decision to fly his young family around the country in a helicopter.
King Charles, deeply aware of his own mortality and the future of the monarchy, shared concerns previously voiced by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen had serious reservations about William's choice to pilot his family, haunted by the memory of a 1967 crash that killed the Captain of the Queen's Flight. Senior royals feared that a similar incident could dramatically disrupt the line of succession.
Jobson's biography, in a passage published by the Mail Online, reveals: "After being diagnosed with cancer, King Charles — perhaps reminded of his own mortality — echoed his late mother’s concerns. And when William refused to stop flying with his family, Charles insisted that he sign a formal document, acknowledging the risks involved and taking full responsibility for his actions.
"It would be scant consolation, of course, for an unspeakable tragedy, let alone for the prospect of King Harry and Queen Meghan…"
The intriguing biography, Catherine, The Princess of Wales, will be available for purchase starting August 1.
