Amidst King Charles’s battle with cancer, his doctor has informed him that he has a mere two years left to live.
Despite his short reign as Britain’s monarch for just 18 months, the funeral preparations for King Charles III have already been completed as he continues to fight pancreatic cancer.
The funeral arrangements, known as “Operation Menai Bridge,” are expected to mirror the ceremonies held for Queen Elizabeth II, referred to as “Operation London Bridge.”
With his health deteriorating, sources close to the royal family reveal to In Touch that the plans for Charles’ final resting place are being given utmost priority.
“It’s a fairly common thing to do among the British royalty, but in Charles’ case expediency is necessary,” says the source, who notes that “some courtiers believe Charles’ cancer is worse than they’re making it out to be.”
“ Operation Menai Bridge” is set to include familiar protocols. When the monarch dies, Charles’ body will be moved from the throne room at Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. He will lie in state, and his official funeral will take place nine days later. He will likely be buried in the royal vault at Windsor Castle.
The update comes shortly after a separate high ranking royal insider told In Touch that Charles is not only battling pancreatic cancer – a timely update given that he did not share what kind of cancer he was diagnosed with – but has a mere two years to live.
“King Charles is much sicker than the palace lets on and simply isn’t up to the job of running his fractious family, the crown’s business interests and fulfilling the daily duties of the monarchy,” the member of the royal inner circle revealed in early March. “His cancer is eating him alive. He’s very frail. The situation is desperate.”
With such an update, the future of the monarchy seems shaky at best, and even Queen Camilla is said to be frustrated by Charles’ declining health and weakened status.
“Behind the scenes, Camilla is disgusted by the king’s apparent weakness and is providing him little comfort as he battles his fatal cancer,” a palace courtier told In Touch in early March.”
