    “He is doing very well,” replied the royal figure.

    When she interacted with Paul Holdway, a 55-year-old nurse and patient undergoing a stem cell transplant to treat his blood cancer, she asked him how he was doing.

    “I am feeling very tired,” he responded, to which the queen joked, “Men won’t admit it.”

    The 77-year-old queen gave the reassurance that her husband “is doing very well” despite ongoing health speculations

    Her comments came as speculations about King Charles’ potential abdication gained traction over the last few months due to his ongoing battle with cancer.

    Sources claimed that Prince William and his 75-year-old father have been having discussions about the future of the monarchy.

    “[The] father-son duo meet regularly to discuss the matters regarding the monarchy amid royal health crisis,” a royal insider claimed, as quoted by The News International.

    Over the last few months, growing rumors have suggested King Charles might abdicate sooner than expected due to this cancer battle

    Others claimed that King Charles isn’t expected to continue for much longer, and the Prince of Wales, 42, may take over sooner than expected.

    “No one expects his [King Charles] reign to last much longer, especially because his health could take a dramatic turn for the worse at any time,” a source reportedly told In Touch Weekly.

    “Stepping down now would be the best decision for the monarchy,” the insider added.

    King Charles III was crowned as Britain’s newest monarch at Westminster Abbey in May 2023

    Prince Harry, the king’s second son and fifth in line to the British throne, was also willing to “help out” if his ailing father asked him to, sources claimed.

    However, friends of the Duke of Sussex claimed to the Mirror that he would only return to assist the monarch if his brother, Prince William, apologized.

    I would be very, very surprised in Charles abdicated. His mother was firmly of the opinion that abdication was totally unacceptable. Given her uncle's abdication, I can understand why. However, it does seem to be the way European royals are working - when the monarch's heir reaches around 50, the monarch abdicates and the younger person takes over.

    I wish I could remember my source article but it is always on my mind that Diana was told by a clairvoyant that she would never be queen but would be remembered as the mother of the King. It was before her death but not too much before which is why I never forgot it.

    A psychic called Rita Rogers? She "claims" to have foretold, or predicted, or whatever it is psychics do that Diana would meet a man of foreign descent with the initial "D", plus she "claims" to have told Diana "not to go out after dark" and further "claims" to have told Dodi to avoid France, and not to change his limo driver for fear of an accident in a tunnel. Make what you wish of this.

    Upvote to cancel your downvote, Ian. It is indeed Harry that should be apologising. "We want privacy" then they appear on Oprah, "write" books and he slags his family off.
