Palace prepares for William to take over

King Charles and the Royal Family will celebrate this Holiday at Sandringham,

as they do every year. Since Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, we can assume

the royals have largely continued to enjoy the holiday much as before.

Royal Holidays
Holidays at Sandringham is a private event to which only the closest

family is attended. This year, however, it’s been said that Camilla

has invited her son, Tom Parker-Bowles, to take part in the celebration.

King Charles has continued the tradition of the pre-Holidays lunch,

which has been held at Windsor Castle for the past two years.

The royals love spending time together, but Prince George, Princess

Charlotte, and Prince Louis will have their own meal for the big Holidays lunch.

In fact, they are not even in the same room.

King Charles makes remarkable change for Holidays lunch

Besides “normal” gifts, the Royal Family likes to have a bit of fun and give each

other lighter gifts. Though Kate Middleton, Prince William, King Charles,

Queen Camilla, and other royals might seem strict in public, things are different when in private.

As for Holidays, the royals have one fun tradition. Besides handing each other “ordinary” gifts, they also exchange gifts that intend to bring forward laughter.

Will King Charles resign?
Prince William is getting ready to succeed his father, but it could be years before he ascends the throne. Meanwhile, with King Charles not being able to attend a number of royal duties during his treatment, questions have been concerned about whether he should abdicate and make room for his son.

“He’s a lot weaker and tires easily, and doctors are begging him to slow down,” the source said. King Charles knows he is limited by his health issues and struggling over whether it’s noble or not to resign.

The source reported that while Charles is reluctant to give William, his son, too much power and space, he has held private meetings with him to discuss the future.

King Charles has to “accept limitations” as Prince William is next-in-line to the throne
William has stepped in for his father several times this year. He represented King Charles and the Royal Family at France’s major D-Day anniversary event, and as late as December, was back in France to attend the reopening of Notre Dame five years after the massive fire.

A palace source told GB News that within the Palace walls, “there is a sense of calm before the storm.”
