Speculation That He Will Abdicate
We can see why there is speculation that Prince Charles would abdicate and hand the throne over to Prince William instead. It looks like this is a popular idea among members of the British public. According to a survey by StatistaCharts, nearly half of Britons would rather see Prince William as the monarch instead of his father. We wonder if this figure has gone up after the interview with Oprah Winfrey.
How His Ex Felt About This
It is said that Princess Diana had conflicted feelings about the idea of Prince Charles become the king. This is not shocking as the divorce had not been at all pleasant. In 1995, she discussed the matter on a BBC show called Panorama. Princess Diana received an interesting question from Martin Bashir. “Do you think the Prince of Wales will ever be king?” the journalist asked her.
