King Charles has reportedly decided to prepare Prince William to take over the throne after realizing that his time on earth is “limited.”

Amid reports that the monarch is reluctant to abdicate his throne in favour of his and late Princess Diana’s first born, a new report claimed that Charles has changed his mind.

Speaking with Radar Online, a royal insider revealed that Charles has decided to prepare his son to rule and take over the monarchy so he can focus on his cancer treatment.

An insider has revealed that cancer has taken a toll on Charles as he was recently spotted in an “emotional” state while speaking with a Church of England elder.

“Charles was visibly emotional with his head buried in his hands at one point,” they said. “This is not the king his subjects are used to seeing, and it was extremely disturbing to anyone who was on hand.”

“The king realizes his time on Earth is limited,” they continued. “He is now focusing on making his peace with God and ensuring that William is prepared to take over when he is gone.”

The source further revealed that the monarch has been finding peace in religion as “his cancer is literally eating him alive.”

“The situation is becoming difficult to deal with and forcing him to prepare Prince William to take the thrown,” they continued.

They went on to share that Charles is relieved passing on his throne to William and his wife, Kate Middleton, knowing that it “will be in safe hands.”

“King Charles is naturally overjoyed at Kate beating cancer for several reasons,” the royal insider said. “But on a pragmatic level, he says the monarchy is now in (good) health and in safe hands for another generation.”
