An insider claims Kate Middleton had a private meeting with King Charles III about her family preparing to succeed the 75-year-old British monarch sooner than expected, as he has spends almost an entire year battling cancer.
Charles received his diagnosis after surgery at The London Clinic at the start of 2024 and is still fighting the disease, despite the Princess of Wales also being diagnosed and fighting off cancer within that time.
And as the British Royal Family continues to look after their patriarch and monarch, they are preparing for all outcomes including his death, with Prince William being given extra roles and now it seems the 43-year-old Middleton is being briefed about succession too.
“She and Charles had a private meeting about her stepping up sooner than expected,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “As you’d imagine, the relationship between the two of them is incredibly close.
“They’ve been a huge source of comfort to each other through their side-by-side battles against cancer.
“It’s also why Charles has taken great pains to give her plenty of space to recover for the inevitable moment that he and Camilla pass on the baton.”
Is King Charles III healthy?
Upon the death of the King, William will ascend and his wife will become the Queen Consort so she is being prepared for the transitionary period that would also see Camilla become Queen Dowager.
Camilla’s health has also been on the ropes throughout the year too after she spent a lengthy period fighting off a chest infection, meaning the 76-year-old second-wife of Charles had to withdraw from public duties too.
However, both seem okay for the moment. King Charles III continues with his public duties and appearances and so does Camilla, and they both recently enjoyed a trip through Asia.
The journey included stops in Australia and India, and they enjoyed holistic treatment in the latter.
