King Charles III has taken a decisive choice on his reign amidst an ongoing health problem and a family rivalry, putting an end to uncertainty over the monarchy's destiny.
Future monarch William has surreptitiously taken on new responsibilities to serve his father behind palace doors, sparking concerns about whether the King would ever stand down to prioritize his health.
However, royal analysts say the 76-year-old would not pass up the kingdom to his eldest son Prince William because he is aware that the monarchy shake-up may ignite a "crisis".
Hilary Fordwich told Fox News that Prince William and Princess Catherine have been preparing for their future responsibilities as king and queen on an expedited pace. However, they are not aggressively pursuing immediate ascendancy.
The expert went on to clarify: "The entire family, all senior roles, are more focused on the best interests of the monarchy's stability and continuity, hence all being content with the gradual transition rather than any immediate decisions."
She made the argument: "The only definite thing is that an abdication would be a significant departure from all tradition."
Fordwich showed that abdication is not common within the British royal family. The latest one, involving Queen Elizabeth II's uncle, Edward VIII, produced "a constitutional crisis,"
"Given his mother's values, King Charles is most likely to do all he can to continue serving, dedicating himself to duty," according to her.
Fordwich's comments came shortly after Ingrid Seward told Newsweek that the king should consider allowing William to play more important duties as heir on his behalf.
However, Seward highlighted that the 76-year-old is a workaholic who would not abdicate his kingdom very soon.
