Prince William becomes king after his father, King Charles, either goes away or chooses to abdicate.
However, according to British media reports, there is not currently abdication in the monarch’s mind.
Despite being diagnosed with cancer last year, King Charles continues to perform his royal tasks without showing signs of slowing down.
Given his state of health, it seems that the monarch intends to remain on the throne until his last breath, following in the footsteps of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Charles became king of the United Kingdom the moment his mother died at the age of 96 in September 2022.
Similarly, when King Charles goes away, Operation Menai Bridge is activated for funeral and order for King Charles.
Charles waited almost 74 years to become king, which was longer than any former heir.
Less than two years after he became the king Charles was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024.
Prince William probably won’t wait as much as his father did to become the king.
In the event of King Charles’ death, Britain would activate Operation Menai Bridge, a secret plan named after a Welsh bridge.
Prince William immediately becomes the king and he would turn to the nation without delay.
The country would throw itself into grief, and Charles’ body would be moved from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall to lie in the state.
Nine days later, a Grand State burial would take place before Charles is put to rest on Windsor Castle.
The United Kingdom would prepare for King William’s coronation and money and stamps would be printed with his face.
Kate Middleton would officially become a queen, and Prince George would step into the role of heir to the throne.
