King Charles to 'abdicate' as Prince William waits to take the throne?

Prince William, the Prince of Wales could become the King sooner than expected.

Rumours are swirling that King Charles could step down from the throne, paving the way for his eldest son William, according to a US-based media outlet.

Amid ongoing controversy surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's link to Epstein, an insider shared, "King Charles is going to step down."

"He is going to abdicate, and they are going to use the excuse of his health, which has been declining because [the situation with Andrew] has been very stressful and almost too much for him to bear," the source said of cancer-stricken King Charles.

Adding, "Charles knew more than he let on, and the whole family has been covering this up. They are all complicit. The whole [royal] machine is complicit in this — from the top down!"

However, sources revealed that the situation is getting "worse day by the day," adding that while Prince William has been "ruthless" about removing Andrew since beginning, he will not be doing anything "to protect" his uncle, who was also arrested on February 19.

As per sources, the future King of Britain, Prince William wants to "fix the monarchy," adding, "He has better morals, and he is interested in the preservation of the monarchy."
