There's a lot they're not telling
About a week ago, reports of the king’s death began circulating after weeks of not getting any updates about his health. And while they didn’t offer any updates then, Buckingham Palace did quickly dispel the rumor of Charles’ death, saying, “We are happy to confirm that The King is continuing with official private business.”
After Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September 2022, Charles became king and celebrated his coronation in May of 2023. According to the insiders, he is very concerned about his inability to rule as long as his mother did and how the monarchy will fare after his death.
“His aides can tell that Charles still worries about his legacy,” the second insider explained, also revealing that the king “tends to worry himself” with his son Prince William’s ability to take over.
