Strong rumors about Charles III’s health: Is William of Wales preparing to assume the throne in 2026?

Just over a year ago, it was revealed that King Charles III was battling an undisclosed cancer, which had been detected during an unrelated procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.

The King began a schedule of regular treatments at London Clinic private hospital in February 2024 and resumed his royal duties a couple of months later, although it is believed that he is still receiving treatment.

What cancer is King Charles suffering from?

However, his health issues led to the prospect of an early succession to the throne. Much of Charles III’s battle against the disease has been kept under wraps, but some sources claim that the English monarch has received the devastating news that the cancer is not subsiding. If no improvement is seen, there are few options left for King Charles III to recover.

According to reports from the United Kingdom, King Charles III’s daily life has become a true ordeal. Gone are the days when he could go about his activities freely without a medical team constantly by his side. Fainting spells and dizziness have become a daily occurrence, and the monarch’s quality of life is far from optimal.

The situation has become so dire that the doctors overseeing King Charles III’s care have informed Prince William that they might be facing the onset of the terminal phase of the illness.

There has been speculation about the kind of illness that Charles is fighting - some reports say pancreatic cancer, others, colon cancer. Either way, it is being suggest that the disease is more aggressive than initially thought, and the King’s age (he turned 76 in November) further diminishes the chances of successful treatment.

Prince William preparing for Succession

In light of this somber reality, Prince William and the entire Buckingham Palace team have begun preparations for his ascension to the British throne. According to sources close to the royal family, they are fully aware of the critical situation and have given the green light to all necessary arrangements. When the time comes, Prince William, alongside Kate Middleton, will take over as the King and Queen of England.

Prince William has informed the rest of the Windsor family that his father’s health is critical. The medical team has warned him that he must be ready to succeed King Charles III by 2026. It appears that the King may have entered the terminal phase of the cancer he has been battling since last year.
