Prince William has resumed his official engagements following the delicate health situation of his father, King Charles III, and his wife, Princess Kate Middleton.
The heir to the British throne has shown his commitment to the Crown and his closeness to the people as the press speculates about his possible coronation.
Last Wednesday, February 7, 2024, Prince William presided over the investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle in the morning and attended a charity dinner organized by the London Air Ambulance in the evening.
The Prince expressed his gratitude for the support and solidarity he has received from the public in light of the difficult situation his family is going through.
His father, King Charles III, has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment.
Meanwhile, his wife, Princess Kate Middleton, underwent abdominal surgery on January 16 and is recovering in Windsor. She is expected to resume her royal duties after Easter.
What will William’s name be when he becomes king?
In the monarch’s absence, Prince William has taken on more responsibilities as the future king of England.
According to Sunday Times editor and broadcaster Roya Nikkhah, Prince William will be crowned as William V when the time comes for him to succeed his father.
Although he has the option of choosing a different name, the prince prefers to keep the name his parents gave him at his birth because that is how he is known around the world.
Nikkhah also revealed that Prince William will be a very radical king who will change the image and functioning of the monarchy.
He also revealed that his coronation will be very different from his father’s, as he will try to avoid pomp and unnecessary expense. Prince William wants to be a modern king, close to the people and involved in various causes.
As the time comes to take the throne, Prince William has the support of his stepmother, Camilla Parker, who has also taken on some of the responsibilities of King Charles III.
Together they try to maintain the stability and continuity of the Crown, which is facing one of the most difficult moments in its history.
