He's in his late 70s. He's very aware he's not invincible. He's probably glad he made it to the inauguration and had some time to serve.

His parents made it into their late 90s as did other members of his family. These people seem to live very long lives, so I am sure he assumed he would be similar. If he followed the trajectory of his parents he would have had +/- 20 years on the throne.

They probably don’t want anything to do with it at this point.

Why?

It's been rumored for a while that Charles has pancreatic cancer which is usually very quick. William and Kate are aware that their role will be changing soon.

Fwiw, there are very recent olive branches passing back and forth between William and Harry. Do he might return - but it doesn't seem like it would be a good idea, for anyone z for him to do so. I guess we'll see.

That’s the point. If they hadn’t run them out of the county, H would be there and they could help out with the working royal duties, whatever the heck those are.
So many of their issues are self-made. Add in bad health luck and suddenly it’s near crisis

No one ran them out of the country, remember, they took the "freedom flight" ... Harry's words, not mine. They are both useless and not needed. Good riddance.

I don’t feel badly for him at all. His mother never wanted him to be king. He’s lucky she didn’t pass it right to William.

You are truly a sad person to say something like this in a thread that is talking about someone's rapidly declining health.

Yes shame on that poster for not having sympathies for the ...haughty billionaire king of England

Only a small portion of longevity is related to genetics.

“ Scientists speculate that for the first seven or eight decades, lifestyle is a stronger determinant of health and life span than genetics. Eating well, not drinking too much alcohol, avoiding tobacco, and staying physically active enable some individuals to attain a healthy old age; genetics then appears to play a progressively important role in keeping individuals healthy as they age into their eighties and beyond.”

William is ready! He’s been in planning for this for decades. He’s a great age.

Neither H nor M are capable of being supportive of W and K. That was kind of the problem. Nothing has changed. H is still not capable of supporting his brother - and W is not capable of bending towards H.

There's no reason for them to come back and only problems if H does.

They’ll never come back now. Another self own problem of the firm and the rota

Harry's shortcomings are not the fault of the firm or the rota. How silly.

It the firm and the press who relentlessly attacked his wife. And they’re to blame. Now they find themselves very short on “working” royals.

Nobody misses them except their American fans.

Who said anything about missing them? That’s not the point. This thread is about the poor health of 2 “working” royals leave Will carrying a load. Karma.

No it's not the whiners are in here " but only if..." No. Nobody but their few fans wish they were there to fill the void.

In case you don’t realize there could easily be nobody available to fill the void. Stop being a nasty person.

His grandfather died young.

Nasty? Like the people who don't feel bad for a man with cancer? Oh stop. And what void are you even talking about? The ribbon cutting void? I thought everyone wanted the monarchy to end anyway.

What’s there to plan for? Measuring the drapes?

I thought he wouldn’t want to take it on when his kids are still young.

Why would William need anyone to help him be king? There was a drastic decrease in the number of royal engagements when the queen died (plus covid) and they haven’t ramped back up. The era of running around the country dancing with old people is gone, William will basically just the knighting and other honors plus the big events like the military parades.

I guess you’ve never known anyone with an unexpected stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Some cancers are very aggressive.

I don’t know anyone with asymptomatic stage 4 cancer. There would have been some signs for him, and if there were signs — even if he ignored them or just recognized them retrospectively — there would be plenty of ways doctors would have picked up on it. At the very least, unexplained weight change.

I don’t think he’s special. I do know he’s a billionaire though.

What?? Consider yourself lucky. Pancreatic cancer is almost always silent through stage 4 diagnosis. As is often ovarian. Inflammatory breast cancer another. And I know two people diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer who had no symptoms - both under age 50 and one of whom was very fit and athletic.

+1 My dad had cholangiocarcinoma (cancer of the bile ducts). There’s no regular screening for it, it’s somewhat rare, and often by the time someone has symptoms for a doctor to investigate, the cancer has already spread. It’s also aggressive. My dad had no change to his weight, no change in his appetite, no change in his color, no change in his energy levels, and saw his doctor regularly. He was still very physically active and strong. He suddenly had back pain. He was prescribed anti inflammatory medication and pain medication. The following week, the pain was so intense, he went to the emergency room. A scan was ordered and the ER doctor realized my dad was riddled with cancer. It turns out it was all over his digestive system and even in his lungs. He died 45 days later. This cancer typically is found in men over age 60.

My dad also had cholangiocarcinoma. His was caught on a routine/unrelated checkup, before he was symptomatic. He went through surgery, chemo, radiation and it took a huge toll on his health. He died 2 years later not of cancer, but the effects the treatment had on him. But, we knew that was borrowed time; the one year survival rate of his cancer is 2%.

LOL y’all are being so dramatic. The king is a figurehead, they’re just celebrities. The kids will turn out the same no matter when their dad becomes king.
