King Charles has reportedly decided to abdicate to his eldest son Prince William following in Queen Margrethe of Denmark’s footsteps who’s set to step down as monarch on January 14. “The 75-year-old monarch has summoned a meeting with the Prince and Princess of Wales to discuss the future of the monarchy,” an insider has claimed.
“The King, who’s a caretaker of the throne for his eldest son, will ask William and Kate to prepare for their future roles,” they added. However, the source added: “Prince William wants his father to continue until his eldest son Prince George, second to line of throne, comes to a certain age.”
It comes after Danish Queen Margrethe, 83, revealed that her son, Crown Prince Frederik, will succeed her and become the new King of Denmark. There are speculations that the monarch, who was officially crowned alongside his wife Queen Camilla in May 2023, wants to use the future king and Queen’s “star quality” to help secure the future of the royal family.
