William & Kate Taking Charge
Star|October 02 2017

In a Startling Twist, the Duke and Duchess Will Become the Next King and Queen — and With Prince Charles Cast Aside, They’re Ready to Modernize the Monarchy!

William & Kate Taking Charge

WHILE attending a conference in Oxford, England, on Sept. 5, Prince William, a former air ambulance pilot, spoke about the importance of addressing the mental health issues facing first responders. The audience listened attentively, but they had something else on their minds: After William wrapped up his speech, a member congratulated him on the recent announcement that he and his wife, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting their third child. “Thank you, it’s very good news,” William gushed. “There’s not much sleep going on at the moment.”

But there may be another reason Will and Kate aren’t getting much shut-eye. A Buckingham insider exclusively tells Star that Queen Elizabeth II has made the shocking decision to step down from the throne — and instead of passing the crown to her son and rightful heir, Prince Charles, the 91-year-old monarch is handing over the reign to Will and Kate!
