Queen Camilla addresses speculation on the King's health and future plans
King Charles III has reportedly dashed Prince William’s hopes of an early ascension to the throne, firmly indicating that he has no intention of stepping down despite ongoing rumours about his health. Speculation had been mounting that the Prince of Wales was preparing for the possibility of taking over the monarchy sooner than expected.
Despite reports from sources such as In Touch Weekly claiming that the King's reign may not last much longer due to potential health concerns, Queen Camilla appeared to quash these rumours during a recent appearance. She firmly stated that King Charles is “doing very well” when asked about his health at the Macmillan Wellbeing Hub.
The Queen's remarks come as the King continues his public duties, with palace sources confirming that his health remains in a "very positive" state. Camilla's light-hearted exchange with a cancer patient during her visit also hinted that the monarch remains committed to his role. Despite encouragement from Camilla to slow down, King Charles reportedly remains determined to serve the people, with plans for an upcoming tour of Australia and Samoa still intact.
