The illness of King Charles shifts all the weight of the crown on William and
King Charles III and Prince William

The news about the cancer diagnosed in King Charles III, published by Buckingham Palace, raises a number of questions, starting with the real conditions of the Monarch and, above all, whether he will be able to continue in office.

If Charles were to abdicate, it would be his eldest son William, who would be first in the line of succession, to ascend to the British throne. But abdication, although there is already a precedent, is not the only possible scenario.

Abdication and precedent - This event in the history of the English monarchy is very rare. The last abdication was in 1936, when the then King Edward VIII renounced the crown to marry Wallis Simpson, an American actress and, crucially for the time, a divorcee.

Marrying a divorced person was considered taboo in the British monarchy for hundreds of years. Therefore, if events were to end for health reasons, William would take the place of the King - who has been head of state since 8 September 2022 - and the first in line to the throne would be his son, George, and then , from Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Duke of Sussex, Harry, Prince Archie, Princess Lilibet and, most recently, Andrew, Duke of York.

Both Harry and Andrew remain in the line of succession to the throne, despite the controversy surrounding them.

Another scenario: "Recency Act" - Bob Morris, honorary research fellow at University College London's Constitution Unit, explained that in the event of a health problem for the Monarch, the Recency Act could come into play, which would be activated if The king would for example become unable to speak or move due to illness.

The Regency Act, the last version of which in 2022 updated the last one in 1937, regulates exactly this type of emergency and provides for "Councillors of State" to replace the King.

In this case, in addition to William, Queen Camilla would also play an important role. In addition, Harry, Andrew and his eldest daughter, Beatrice, would also be eligible to handle the King's affairs.

Changes requested by King Charles - It was King Charles himself, after the death of Elizabeth II, who asked Parliament to be able to update the list of Councilors of State and extend the possibility of replacing the sovereign to his sister, Anna and younger brother Edward, given the fact that, as things stand, both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are effectively cut off from Buckingham Palace.
