Palace insiders are reportedly preparing for the possibility that King Charles could hand over the crown to Prince William sooner than expected.
According to recent claims, such a shift could even happen within the next year.
Prince William could take over from King Charles very soon
The speculation comes as scrutiny continues to mount around King Charles and his handling of the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal.
As a result, some observers believe pressure is building behind palace walls. Reports suggest that certain insiders may already be anticipating a transition that would see Prince William step into the role of king earlier than planned.
Royal insider Rob Shuter recently discussed the situation during an appearance with journalist Maureen Callahan. Speaking on The Nerve with Maureen Callahan, Shuter shared what he claims to have heard from sources connected to the Royal Household.
Shuter previously worked as a spokesman for Princess Michael of Kent, and he referenced that experience when discussing his sources.
He said: “My sources in the palace are strong – I was the publicist for Princess Michael of Kent. I have worked for the Royal Family. I got a cheque from them, I got a monthly retainer from them.â€
Palace insiders think Prince William should be king sooner rather than later
Shuter also claimed that some people inside the palace may agree with the idea that it is time for a transition.
“I am told within the palace, ‘Your bombshell piece saying Charles should abdicate was read within the palace, and a lot of people agree with you. It’s time to turn the page.’ We have spoken about it before, Maureen…â€
He went on to suggest that Prince William already carries many responsibilities associated with the monarchy.
“He’s already the King. He’s the acting King in all but name.â€
