Despite reigning as the British monarch for only 18 months since his ascension to the throne on May 6, 2023, plans are already in place for the eventual passing of King Charles III, who is currently battling pancreatic cancer.
When Queen Elizabeth II passed away, Operation London Bridge was activated to ensure a smooth transition of power to her son, then-Prince Charles. Now, with Prince Charles' cancer worsening, royal insiders have revealed that plans for his final resting arrangements are being prioritized under "Operation Menai Bridge," named after the world's first iron suspension bridge in Anglesey, Wales.
"It’s a fairly common thing to do among the British royalty, but in Charles’ case expediency is necessary," says a source, noting that "some courtiers believe Charles’ cancer is worse than they’re making it out to be."
"Operation Menai Bridge" will include familiar protocols. After his passing, Charles' body will be moved from the throne room at Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where he will lie in state. His official funeral is scheduled to take place nine days later, with his likely burial in the royal vault at Windsor Castle.
Recent reports suggest that Charles is not only battling pancreatic cancer but has also been given a short time to live. "His cancer is eating him alive. He’s very frail. The situation is desperate," a member of the royal inner circle revealed.
Queen Camilla is reportedly 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 revealed.
Buckingham Palace had announced in February that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer, but the form of cancer was not disclosed. Speculations arose that it was prostate cancer, as the condition was identified during an operation for the British monarch’s benign prostate enlargement. However, a palace spokesperson clarified that Charles does not have prostate cancer.
