Taking Over
However, let us bear in mind that Charles is more than 70 years old by now. Likely, he will only have a short reign. William will need to get ready to take over the throne, but he also has to groom young George to become the monarch. The little boy apparently has no idea that he is in the succession line, but he is bound to learn sooner than later. However, some people do not even think that Charles will go on to be the king, no matter if Elizabeth chooses to abdicate or not.
Never
Ex-royal butler Paul Burrell told Now to Love in 2018 that “we will never see King Charles and Queen Camilla sat on the throne of England.” Why? Burrell said, “Because when the Queen dies, she’ll be 100-and-something; she will never abdicate. When she dies, I think Charles will do the right thing and say, ‘I’m far too old for this responsibility.’” There is another issue at play here, however. There is the notion that certain royals do not want to become kings and queens.
