The Duke and Duchess of Sussex bid farewell to their royal duties in 2020 and embarked on a new journey in California, USA.
However, tensions with the British royals have persisted, exacerbated by their public statements.
The relationship between the Duke and the King has allegedly deteriorated further following the release of the Duke’s recent memoir, “Spare.”
Despite not being in line for succession, the Duke remains skeptical, while the palace has reportedly initiated succession planning, as per royal experts.
Amidst speculations about the King’s health after being diagnosed with cancer, the palace has already started succession planning, a process believed to have been accelerated due to the current circumstances.
Royal specialist Tom Quinn, in a discussion with Mirror, shed light on the palace’s strategic moves.
Despite the strain caused by the King’s illness on the other working royals, the decision to streamline the monarchy has been deemed positive by experts, resonating well with the public perception of the royal family’s management amidst challenges.
Tom Quinn highlighted the Duke of Sussex’s reluctance to relinquish his involvement in royal affairs, expressing discontent at being sidelined previously.
The Duke’s carefree demeanor, akin to that of a playful child expecting forgiveness, hints at his struggle to grasp the evolving dynamics within the royal family.
Meanwhile, the King’s primary objective is to transition royal responsibilities to his eldest son, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess of Wales, whom he views as the most suitable successors to the throne.
In contrast, the Duke of Sussex has shown willingness to support the family during times of need, emphasizing his commitment to aiding in any capacity required.
The acceleration of succession planning by at least five years, prompted by the King’s health condition, underscores the urgency in preparing the next generation for their forthcoming roles.
Ensuring that the Prince and Princess of Wales are equipped to fulfill their future responsibilities has become a top priority in light of recent developments.
