King Charles is set to make a big announcement about William as speculation mounts

King Charles III would make it easy for his eldest son Prince William, heir to the throne, to ensure he has the smoothest possible transition to power.

As Britons prepare for the monarch’s Christmas speech, his third festive speech since taking the throne in 2022, there is speculation that the 76-year-old will make an announcement about the future role of the Prince of Wales.

There are also reports that the King has held a private meeting with the Princess of Wales to explain his plans regarding the abdication.

Some historians and experts believe that this is the right time for the king to leave the throne for William as the monarch is still battling cancer and his treatment will continue in 2025.

Some royal commentators have even claimed that King Charles III’s office has been instructed to make plans for Prince William’s accession to the throne.

Charles III’s Christmas message, which will be broadcast today (Wednesday, December 25), will be very emotional and will cover the details of the most difficult moments of his life and reign.

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith admired the monarch’s courage in continuing as king, saying: “Although the King carries out his duties with typical determination, he has had to accept limitations during his cancer treatment.”

In an interview with Peoplethe author shared key details of the royal plans, explaining: “As a result, William has taken on more responsibilities, and he and Kate have been preparing for their future roles sooner than they expected.”

The royal expert went on to suggest that the young royal family should step up to take over the reigns, saying: “They are next in line for the biggest job of their lives, and of course Kate’s health has been prioritized , but it’s also allowed for everyone to take a step back and figure out what’s important right now.”

Bedell Smith described the situation in his own words, saying, “There is a sense of calm before the storm.”

In November, a palace insider claimed that royal staffers began drawing up succession plans after the king’s coronation in May 2023. The king’s pre-admission speech, which airs today, is sure to clear the air on the future of the monarchy.
