According to a report by the Mirror, King Charles III is reportedly engaged in formulating his succession plan, and indications suggest that his son, Prince William, may play a key role. However, the details of this plan are being deliberately kept concealed from the Kings second son, Prince Harry. The monarchs recent diagnosis of cancer has added a layer of urgency to the succession planning process.Royal expert and author Tom Quinn, cited in the report, highlighted the centrality of Prince Charles in the succession planning, noting that Charles is also aware that, as the future king, William is at the heart of the succession planning that is taking place right now. Quinn indicated that the assumption of Charles remaining healthy into his mid-eighties before initiating succession planning has been disrupted by the current circumstances, hinting at the severity of Charles cancer. Quinn also pointed out the lack of trust in Prince Harrys involvement in the confidential process, attributing it to Harrys past media interviews and criticisms of the Royal Family in his memoir, Spare.Quinn emphasized the secretive nature of succession planning, stating, Succession planning is highly secret and no one trusts Harry to be part of it for the simple reason that if he feels in any way slighted or not given what he feels he deserves he will run straight to the media.Amidst these revelations, Prince Harry, in a recent statement, expressed gratitude for seeing his father earlier this month and professed his love for the family.
