Following his cancer diagnosis in February, his health has progressively deteriorated.
Amid worrying reports coming from Buckingham, it is revealed that King Charles' health is in a critical state. Since it was announced in February that the monarch was suffering from cancer, his progress has been kept private, away from media scrutiny.
However, recent reports from international media such as Page Six and the New York Post indicate that his condition has deteriorated significantly. Given this situation, the Palace has activated a protocol to prepare for the funeral in the event of a fatal outcome, which was launched after the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022. Despite the efforts of the medical team, relatives and the king himself for fighting the disease, sources close to the Royal Family have reported that his condition is delicate.
Operation Menai Bridge, which details plans for Charles III's possible funeral, has been reviewed and updated following the monarch's cancer diagnosis. This plan includes the succession of Prince William, and the appointment of Kate Middleton as queen consort in Camilla's place.
Should William assume the throne, his daughter Charlotte would be designated Princess of Wales, leaving the monarch's wife, Camilla, as the only widowed queen of England.
King Charles' last public appearance with his wife Camilla took place on April 21, generating a positive impression in the media. However, recent news from the Palace has dashed hopes of a quick improvement in the monarch's health. Uncertainty and concern surround the future of the British monarchy in these difficult times.
