Less than two weeks after King Charles III was admitted to a London hospital for treatment, Buckingham Palace disclosed that tests had revealed “a form of cancer.” As Charles has been advised to postpone public-facing duties, other members of the royal family are expected to step up. Prince William, the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, is likely to take on many of Charles’ duties. William’s schedule may be adjusted to accommodate events and ceremonies from his father’s calendar. Prince Harry is unlikely to be called back into the fold, given the fractured relationship within the family. The severity of Charles’ cancer diagnosis remains undisclosed.
