King Charles could make shock announcement following abdication trend

Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg has sent shockwaves across the world with his announcement that he’s abdicating to his son after 24 years on throne, giving birth to questions about the British monarchy and cancer-stricken King Charles’ reign.

The shock news about the 69-year-old European monarch’s abdication plan comes amid speculations about King Charles’ monarchy as the British King, who’s battling cancer, is being asked to give up the crown to 42-year-old son Prince William. The Grand Duke, in his unexpected announcement, revealed that his eldest son Prince Guillaume, 42, will assume his position on the throne in the autumn, saying: “I would like to inform you that I have decided to appoint Prince Guillaume as Lieutenant-Representative in October.”

Previously, Margrethe announced to leave the throne for her eldest son Frederik X after 52-years on throne. She reigned as Queen of Denmark from 14 January 1972 until her abdication on 14 January 2024.

Some royal experts, historians and fortune teller have already claimed that King Charles, who was officially crowned alongside his wife Queen Camilla in May 2023, is a ‘caretaker’ of the throne for his eldest son William.
