As the King takes a step back from public-facing duties to undergo treatment for cancer, he will rely on his elder son and heir to represent him and the monarchy when required, just as he did for his mother Elizabeth II.
IN AT THE DEEP END
So as Prince William spends time with his wife and three children over half-term, he will have much on his mind.
“I think William has certainly realised this and the weight of the world is on his shoulders. He’s going to be the King at some stage,” royal author Robert Jobson tells hello!.
“The expectation is on William’s shoulders and he must be feeling rather like Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth when she was 25, suddenly being catapulted into this job which becomes all consuming.”
While the King is continuing to carry out his constitutional duties, William may step in to carry out in-person engagements, which the monarch has been advised to postpone during his treatment.
Father and son are in “constant contact”, a Palace source tells hello!, and while they will meet when they can, there will be no fuss or public announcement. They prefer to keep family matters firmly private.
Whether the King will be able to spend as much time with his UK-based grandchildren will depend on his treatment, but Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Prince Louis will no doubt be sending him get-well-soon cards and staying in touch however they can.
