Princess Kate Middletonis widely regarded as a natural fit for her future role as Queen Consort, but King Charles III has reportedly chosen to avoid advising her on the responsibilities that lie ahead.
According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, this decision stems from personal and practical considerations tied to the monarch’s own reign and health.
Andersen revealed to Fox News that King Charles and Princess Kate have grown closer due to a shared experience with cancer.
Despite this deepened connection, the King has been cautious about discussing the future roles of Kate and Prince William, partly to avoid fueling speculation about his own time on the throne.
“The king is not about to be giving Kate advice about being a future queen,” Andersen shared. “That would simply give oxygen to the notion that he might not be around much longer, and Charles III intends to stay put on the throne for years to come.”
Charles, who waited more than 70 years to ascend to the throne, is determined to focus on his legacy as King. However, his admiration for Kate is evident.
He recently recognized her contributions by awarding her the prestigious Royal Companion of Honour, signaling his confidence in her ability to uphold the monarchy’s future.
The topic of Prince William‘s eventual ascension is reportedly addressed with great care within the royal family. Even Queen Camilla has refrained from advising Kate on her future role, reflecting the sensitivity surrounding this matter.
A source told US Weekly that Charles remains committed to his duties despite battling cancer. “Even though he’s battling cancer, he’s not letting that get in the way of his desire to be successful on the throne or a dynamic leader.”
Prince William, meanwhile, has quietly prepared for his future responsibilities as King. Behind the scenes, he is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition when the time comes. Currently, Princess Kate is prioritizing her health after completing chemotherapy.
She recently shared her optimism with the public, saying, “I am entering this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life. I look forward to returning to work and participating in more public engagements in the coming months.”
For now, King Charles seems to be giving Kate and William the space to chart their own path, reflecting his trust in their abilities to navigate their roles independently.
His quiet support, coupled with Kate‘s grace and William‘s diligence, ensures that the future of the monarchy is in capable hands.
