William & Kate To Become King & Queen

In a shocking palace twist, Queen Elizabeth is ditching protocol and passing the throne to her grandson!

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for Prince William: visits to the children’s hospice his mom, Princess Diana, opened 30 years ago, stately speeches, statue unveilings and preparations for a three-country trip to Africa. But he’s about to have a whole lot more on his plate. Star sources report that in a shocking palace twist, William has been bumped up the line of succession and is now next to be king!

A source reports that several government leaders within the Commonwealth secretly met earlier this year to plan how 92-year-old Queen Elizabeth will step down and how William will take over. But the royal shake-up comes as a major slight to the queen’s son and rightful heir, William’s father, Prince Charles. At 69, the aristocrat has been waiting a mighty long time to ascend to the throne and feels blindsided —and betrayed — by the decision.

“This is a totally unprecedented move. But as the queen gets older, she’s figuring out how to keep the royal family relevant,” details the insider. “William and Duchess Kate are injecting desperately needed new life into the monarchy — and if Charles gets cast aside in the process, so be it!”
