King Charles asks Prince William, Princess Kate to prepare for future roles

King Charles has reportedly held a meeting with Prince William and Kate Middleton to discuss the future of the monarchy amid continued speculation that he will abdicate following Queen Margrethe of Denmark's shock decision to abdicate.

"The 75-year-old monarch is said to have called in the Prince and Princess of Wales to discuss the future of the monarchy," a close source said.

"The King has asked William and Kate to prepare for their future roles," they added.

But, the heir to the throne, William paid his full respect to his father and asked to continue as monarch.

The source added: "William wants his father to continue until his eldest son, Prince George, second in line to the throne, reaches a certain age."

Queen Camilla, who was officially crowned king in May, is also said to have joined them in the crucial discussion.

The 83-year-old Danish Queen Margrethe decided to pass the crown to her eldest son, Prince Frederik.

Royal fans also urged their favorite royal to lead by example by celebrating their son's singing ceremony in his lifetime. Some asked the king to take care of his health and enjoy the rest of his life with his grandchildren.

King Charles, who ascended the throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, is reportedly fulfilling his duty to ensure the throne will be there for future generations.
