Look for King Charles to be a very, very popular guess in next year’s Celebrity Death Pool.
They are saying King Charles does not have prostate cancer, which is good news, but they are not saying what type he does have.
mmm
I don’t think I’ve seen pictures of Charles smoking, but wasn’t it lung cancer his grandfather died of?
Yes, it was, and also his Aunt Margaret died of the same. Both were heavy smokers, I believe.
If Prince William dies withing the next fifteen years then George his son could possibly become king by twenty five, as his great grandmother became queen at that age. Hopefully though William will stay healthy.
So if Charles passed, Camilla wouldn’t become Queen?
No. The line of succession is determined by the children of the sovereign. So William, King Charles’ firstborn is next in line. Following him is his eldest child, Prince George.
Here is the entire line of succession, as listed here:

Would Camilla become the Queen Stepmother?
Camilla is a Queen Consort (spouse of the Sovereign), not a Queen Regnant (Sovereign).
Queen Stepmother sounds fitting, but don’t get carried away: not all cancers are that deadly.
Queen Dowager or Dowager Queen would likely be the title applied but yes, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The Windsors are a hardy bunch. Plus Charles eats all that organic stuff - that’s got to help.
Where does Ralph fit into all that?
Only if they all take a picture on metal bleachers.
Abe, not Ono. Mother of former PM Shinzo, not Sean.
RIP British sci-fi author Christopher Priest. Loved "The Inverted World. "
August is a son, not a daughter.
The last of the Home Guard has left us.
