The story was made up by The Daily Mail.
It is completely untrue.

Yes, papers make up these news stories.
But what do you think about reports like these? It just seems like there's so much misinformation. The succession doesn't work that way but yet it keeps being reported on.

I suppose it shows that many people don't understand that the monarchy is an official part of the government structure and not a popularity contest --?
Or maybe, because Charles is seen by some as eccentric, people assume he will want to abdicate as Edward VIII did.

Yes, "Cindy..." I completely agree. I also think it's really stupid that Camilla will not be Queen!  It ticks me off! She should be Queen! |

The people writing these sort of stories either do not know, or do not care to mention, that the only ways Charles will not be the next king is if (a) he become as Catholic (which is unlikely), or (b) Parliament passes an Act amending the succession (also unlikely). They also ignore the question of whether or not William would be willing to replace his father in the line of succession - something of which he has given no signs of willingness to do. |
