Secret plans have been revealed about King Charles’ death ahead of his Australian visit

As King Charles and Queen Camilla pack their bags for their first royal visit to Australia as the reigning monarchs, revelations have surfaced that there is other planning underway with a far greater bearing on the House of Windsor.

Secret planning has reportedly begun surrounding the King’s ultimate demise, which has been brought forward during his cancer treatment which will go ‘on hold’ during their sojourn ‘down-under’.

Royal Correspondent for the Daily Beast, Tom Sykes, has painted a picture of urgency from the royal family amid plans for Prince William’s succession that has already begun to ‘tear the royal family apart’.

With King Charles’ ascension to the throne still feeling very new to most the idea that he would live as long as his mother, Queen Elizabeth, has been dealt a reality check after his recent health concerns.

Queen Elizabeth died as the oldest reigning monarch of the UK at age 96 after serving as Queen for an incredible 70 years, but reports are that palace insiders don’t hold the same optimism for the King.

Sykes says that the planning for William’s move to the throne is already well underway: “The planning and positioning for the reign of King William V has begun”.

“Executive power and influence is already flowing William’s way.

“The power dynamic has shifted since the king’s diagnosis”.

Two cancer diagnoses’ within months of each other concerning Prince William’s father and his wife Princess Kate have no doubt caused a correction in planning and thinking inside the palace, and Sykes says the Prince has taken matters into his own hands.

In February, William was “springing into action”, Sykes reports.

“Charles’ family were told the truth: that it was serious. That, of course, is why Prince Harry flew over from California three days later, and that is why the king agreed to meet him”.

Only five days after the King’s shocking cancer news broke in February, it emerged that William had tapped an experienced former diplomat named Ian Patrick, who has an MBE for work on international peacekeeping, as his new private secretary.

“The implication was clear: William would be stepping up to a bigger, more global role,” Sykes says.

Of the prince, a source told the Telegraph in February: “He’s very aware of the future in front of him”. The prince, the insider argued, “has made decisions about his life based on being heir to the throne. That weighs on his mind constantly”.

Following a brief period of care for his family following Princess Kate’s diagnosis, Prince William has now placed himself firmly in the public eye with a broader schedule and obvious intent on harnessing the spotlight to elevate any burden for his father.

Royal waters in the UK are predicting that this obvious move to create an awareness of the issues that Jay presents to the monarchy should King Charles’s health take a further turn for the worse will create issues.

“The changed potential time frame for the reign of his father poses particular problems,” Sykes says.

“There can be no meaningful rehabilitation … without a peace deal being hammered out with the institution of his family … And the truth is (Prince) Harry is much more likely to be able to make a deal with King Charles III than King William V”.

Harry, one royal source told Sykes, would not have traded his family’s secrets for all that lolly if there had not been “the expectation that he would be able to work his way back into the royal fold because of his father’s affection for his ‘darling boy.

“He thought he might have 20 years with his father as the ultimate authority to mend those broken bridges.”

Sykes also points out that “there is no doubt that the king is doing fantastically well in his battle against cancer”.

The King and Queen head to Sydney and Canberra next week after attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa and will touch down in Australia on October 18.
