Amid the solemn preparations for the funeral of the king’s father, reports have emerged suggesting that the Prince of Wales has been excluded from key meetings.

Codenamed London Bridge, the arrangements for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral are in full swing.

Simultaneously, a parallel operation named Menai Bridge is being orchestrated by the royal family and government to ensure contingency plans are in place should unforeseen circumstances arise.

Both the British government and Buckingham Palace are said to be meticulously planning for what is anticipated to be a grand public event marking another royal funeral.

Page Six has hinted at backup strategies like Menai Bridge, alluding to a structure in the principality.

However, the specific nature of the king’s illness has not been officially disclosed by Buckingham Palace, which recently confirmed his battle with cancer.

While Camilla has been fulfilling her royal duties in person, the king has been diligently working remotely to fulfill his responsibilities during his ongoing treatment.

The palace has conveyed the king’s unwavering positivity towards his treatment and his eagerness to resume his full public duties at the earliest opportunity.

Nevertheless, as a precautionary measure, the royal couple has been engaging in discreet consultations with government officials.

Despite being the designated heir to the throne, the Prince of Wales seems to have been excluded from the intricate planning process.

It appears that the king’s decision to shield his son from additional responsibilities stems from a desire to alleviate the burdens the Prince of Wales already shoulders.

Balancing royal duties, caring for his children, and supporting the Princess of Wales during her health challenges have undoubtedly been taxing on the prince.

The Princess of Wales, in a heartfelt recorded message last Friday, revealed that she has been recuperating from abdominal surgery since January following her diagnosis.
