The Prince and Princess of Wales are feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders. But… how sick is King Charles really??
In the wake of His Majesty’s scary cancer diagnosis, the elephant in the room has become all the more real for his eldest son: if the King should pass away, Prince William will have to ascend the throne.
But with Princess Catherine also fighting her own battle against cancer, taking up duties has apparently been causing them nothing but “anxiety.” Related: Why Princess Catherine’s Cancer Announcement Took ‘A Lot’ Out Of Her In a recent New York Times article, royal expert Tina Brown outlined that King Charles’ diagnosis has positioned the couple “in frightening proximity to ascending the throne.” She wrote: Apparently, the pair “hoped for a span of years to parent their children out of the public eye,” but taking up King and Queen duties would obviously derail that plan.
Between having such young kids and Catherine fighting cancer, we don’t blame the couple for being so overwhelmed at the prospect of taking over.
