Prince William is said to be taking over the royal reign gradudally under the supervision of his beloved father King Charles.
The monarch, 76, has seemingly embarked on his succession plan, paving the way for a peaceful transfer of power to his eldest son William, who's allegedly behind Prince Andrew's downfall.
Undoubtedly, behind the bold smile, the King faces the harsh reality that his health battle forces him to slow down as his cancer treatment still continues.
Charles is not only unleashing William's potential but also helping him to take wise decisions amid crisis as he belives the future of the monarchy depends on the Waleses' shoulders.
William is also making headlines for his current strategy and his future plans as he belives the monarchy's survival depends on cutting ties with scandal hit royals.
Future monarch William has also plans to teach a lesson to his younger brother Harry.
Andrew announced to give up all his royal titles and honours soon after Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir Nobody's Girl hit the shelves.
King Charles must be appreciating his eldest son's ability to cope with the crisis as he did during the hardest time of his life when his wife Princess Kate was fighting for life.
On the other hand, the Palace's handling of Andrew's scandals has been widely interpreted as a firm shift under King Charles's leadership.
William has succefully convinced his father that they can't take another hit to their reputation by supporting or heping those have already damged the Firm.
The Prince of Wales also knos that that public confidence is hanging by a thread, and the monarchy has to prove it stands for consistency.
Royal commentator Maureen Callahan has claimed that William has been "making power moves" and is "already leading the royal family, intent on preserving the realm."
She told Daily Mail: "Charles, it seems, has all but handed over the crown. He would prefer, as is his constitution, not to be embroiled in these messes, even as they pose existential threats to the future of the monarchy. William clearly has no such squeamishness."
However, some royal experts and historians still belive that William won't become King of England until in King Charles' life.
