King Charles is reportedly reluctant to prepare his “beloved” daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, for her future role as queen consort. According to royal expert Christopher Anderson, there is a “heartbreaking” reason behind the monarch’s decision.
As reported by the sun, Anderson suggested that Charles’s hesitation is due to his long-awaited moment on the throne. After waiting 70 years for his ascension, the king is determined to focus on his reign rather than paving the way for his son, Prince William, to assume power.
Anderson explained, “The King is not going to give Kate advice on how to be a future queen. “That would simply give oxygen to the idea that he might not be here for much longer, and Charles III intends to remain on the throne for years to come.”
Despite this reluctance, Anderson emphasized that Charles shares a close bond with the Princess of Wales. Their relationship has reportedly grown stronger over the years, particularly as they supported each other during their respective health issues. Kate is said to have been an important source of support for the King, even helping him with his health problems.
However, Charles’s determination to make his mark on the throne has taken priority. Anderson suggested that while the king deeply respects Kate, he is not prepared to consider transferring power to Prince William and Kate at this stage of his reign.
Charles’s decision highlights the delicate balance he faces as reigning monarch and as a father preparing the next generation for leadership. For now, it appears that the King’s goal remains firmly to solidify his own legacy while maintaining his close relationship with the Princess of Wales.
