Prince Charles Set To Become England’s Next King Following Queen Elizabeth’s Abdication: Report
Prince Charles has been reported to succeed her mother, Queen Elizabeth in case she dies or abdicate the throne. Rumors are rife before that the Queen's health is not well the past days and she has been absent from the royal gatherings and events lately.
As reported by International Business Times, the Duke of Cornwall will be made King if the Queen will step down from the throne. This will make Charles as the first king to assume the throne since 1952.
If the succession rule will apply, Charles will be automatically made as the Queen's successor. However, speculations are escalating that Prince Charles might immediately pass the throne to his eldest son, Prince William because of a "constitutional crisis."
If this will be the case, it will be not the first time this would happen because the same scenario already took place before. King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne when he opted to propose to his American socialite girlfriend who is also a divorcee, Wallis Simpson. He abdicated the throne so Queen Elizabeth's father, George was made the king and she became the instant heir.
If Charles will succeed the Queen, some people would find it hard to accept Camilla Parker-Bowles as their queen. It can be recalled that Camilla caused the divorce of Charles and his former wife, Princess Diana. Until that time, she has instilled a not-so-good image to the people that's why they don't see her fitting to the throne as well as also reported on UK's Daily Mirror.
But there are rumors that suggest William and Kate Middleton will be taking over the throne. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have higher satisfaction ratings compared to Prince Charles but not with the Queen's ratings. The royal couple remarkably disappointed Queen Elizabeth because of their poor performance when it comes to their royal duties.
With all these predicaments that the royal family is facing most especially in this crucial time, Queen Elizabeth is unsure if she is ready to step down from the throne or let Prince Charles lead the British monarchy once she abdicates.
