Royal Family’s Line Of Succession Not In Danger Following Princes Charles, William’s COVID-19 Diagnosis
Prince Charles and Prince William tested positive for COVID-19 in March and April, respectively.
And there were, allegedly, concerns that the line of succession will be in danger if something happens to them.
Woman’s Day speculated on what would’ve happened if Prince Charles and Prince William died from the deadly virus. And they claimed that Kate Middleton would’ve had to step up because her eldest son, Prince George is the heir.
To make things worse for the Duchess of Cambridge, she would, allegedly, be forced to work with Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, who are next in line to Prince Charles and Prince William.
But this may be a tad bit stressful for Middleton because Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are two of the most controversial members of the royal family.
While it is true that Prince Charles and Prince William’s COVID-19 was very serious, it is not true that there were fears over the line of succession.
According to Gossip Cop, Middleton would’ve been given more royal duties if something were to happen to her husband and father-in-law. However, it’s unlikely for her to have to work with Prince Andrew and Prince Harry.
Prince Andrew announced that he was stepping back from his royal duties exactly a year ago. Prince Harry, on the other hand, is living a more private life in the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle.
The rumor-debunking site said that if Prince Charles and Prince William were to die, Queen Elizabeth would still be around. As such, Prince George wouldn’t be given more pressure to step up to the plate because he’s still a minor.
Meanwhile, Gossip Cop also questioned how the tabloid learned how Middleton, allegedly, dealt with Prince William’s diagnosis. After all, the Duke of Cambridge managed to keep the news that he tested positive for COVID-19 for months.
A source told The Sun that Prince William refused to make his diagnosis public because he didn’t want to draw any attention to himself.
But the insider also said that COVID-19 hit the dad of three hard. In fact, there was a time when he struggled to breathe properly. And those around him were, reportedly, worried.
Prince William quarantined at Anmer Hall for a few weeks. But even before he was cleared, the source said that he continued on with his royal duties. After all, the second in line to the throne was, reportedly, determined to fulfill his responsibilities.
