King Charles III will not hand over the British throne to Prince William, despite the latter taking on more duties to support his father amid his health challenges.
The British monarch is currently battling an undisclosed form of cancer and is undergoing treatment.
According to British royals expert Hilary Fordwich, Prince William is helping to ease the King’s workload as he continues his treatment.
The last time a royal abdicated duty, it caused a crisis in the UK, a situation that the royal family would rather not repeat.
Prince William has been assuming more responsibilities, and preparations have been made for more transitions of responsibility, but he is not seeking an immediate ascension.
Both Prince William and Princess Catherine are preparing to assume leadership roles, but the focus is on the monarchy’s stability and continuity rather than immediate decisions.
An abdication would be a significant departure from tradition, and the royal family is content with a gradual transition.
