The British Monarchy is currently under a lot of pressure as King Charles is battling cancer.

After Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022, her elder son Charles took over the throne.

However, amid his declining health, it is perceived that the royal family will undergo major shifts in their roles if (God Forbid) something happens to Charles, including Kate Middleton.

Sadly, the Princess of Wales is also fighting her own cancer battle but it is likely that if Charles passes away, Prince William will immediately become a king.

However, he would not be coronated until after Charles received a state funeral, similar to the late Queen Elizabeth II. In this case, Middleton would be promoted to the role of a Queen from Princess.

About Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles, she’d lose her title after Charles’s death and would be known as Queen Dowager, a title given to the widow of the kings. Since she’s not the birth mother of William, Middleton would directly be called ‘Queen Catherine’. Meanwhile, the royal couple’s three children- Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will retain theirs.

It’s still not going to be as smooth as it sounds considering Middleton’s own health struggles. In January 2024, the Princess of Wales underwent major abdominal surgery. While she was recovering from that, some post-operational tests found the presence of cancer (of some kind). The media went into a frenzy leading to bizarre conspiracy theories about her absence until she officially announced her cancer news, asking for prayers and support.
