A former royal butler has shed light on King Charles‘s intention to abdicate in a decade, driven by his belief that he has fulfilled his responsibilities.
Paul Burrell revealed the monarch’s strategy to delay passing the throne to his son, Prince William, during an episode of Royal Pancakes.
According to Burrell, King Charles is strategically biding his time to pave the way for Prince William’s ascension.
In a surprising revelation, Burrell highlighted the stark contrast between King Charles’s approach and that of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth.
He emphasized that while Queen Elizabeth’s life was dedicated to her role as queen, King Charles prioritizes seeing his son succeed him on the throne and relish the experience.
Burrell conveyed, on behalf of Slingo, that this shift in perspective signifies a departure from traditional royal norms.
Drawing parallels to Prince Philip‘s decision to step back from royal duties, the former royal butler underscored King Charles’s desire to relinquish his position after a decade of diligent service.
Burrell articulated, “The king will recognize when it is time to gracefully step down and pursue his personal interests, much like Prince Philip did.”
This strategic move aligns with King Charles’s vision of witnessing Prince William’s coronation at the pinnacle of his own career.
Contrary to the steadfast dedication exhibited by Queen Elizabeth, King Charles’s envisioned timeline involves a decade of unwavering commitment followed by a graceful exit from the throne.
