King Charles appears to be testing Prince William before stepping down from the throne.

King Charles, undergoing cancer treatment, has chosen not to abdicate immediately and has placed a test of leadership on his eldest son, Prince William, amidst an ongoing family crisis.

The 75-year-old king, dealing with health issues, doesn’t want to burden Prince William with the crown’s responsibilities right away.

As Prince William returns to his duties, he faces the challenge of managing the monarchy while caring for his unwell wife and cancer-stricken father.

This crisis serves as a reminder to the heir that he will eventually become king.

Despite King Charles working behind the scenes during his treatment, Prince William will need to showcase strategic and leadership skills, including mending ties with his estranged brother, Prince Harry.
