KEY POINTS

  • A bogus report claims Prince Charles is suffering from a heart condition
  • The source also claimed that Queen Elizabeth may not survive after summer
  • Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth's health are rumored to be failing

New Prince Charles rumors are claiming that he’s dying due to a heart condition, but there has been no evidence supporting the speculations about the British royal family.

On the cover of Globe’s Jan. 6 issue, a photo of the heir of the throne seemingly looking weak was published. A close-up photo of the future king with swollen hands and feet was also shown.

An unnamed source told the tabloid that Prince Charles suffered a secret coronary episode triggered by Prince Andrew’s sexual abuse scandal. And because he is no longer in the best of health, Queen Elizabeth has decided to give the crown to Prince William.

“Her Majesty wants to ensure the future of the monarchy in these troubled times. Elizabeth, who has been diagnosed with a fatal heart condition of her own, knows she may not survive until summer, too,” the source said.

The insider went on to claim that Her Majesty is worried that the monarchy will be destabilized if her passing will be followed by Prince Charles’ death. As such, to avoid any crisis, she has decided to bypass her son for the throne.

However, these shocking claims should be taken with a grain of salt for a number of reasons. Firstly, if Prince Charles and the Queen’s health are deteriorating, an announcement will be made by the palace.

Before Christmas, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Philip was rushed to the hospital to seek treatment for a pre-existing condition. And when the Duke of Edinburgh checked out of the hospital, the palace also confirmed that he has returned to Sandringham.

These types of delicate stories will only be announced and confirmed by the palace.

Secondly, the Queen and Prince Charles are not suffering from any serious condition or in danger of passing. After all, no one can predict when they will die. It is unlikely that Her Majesty knows she will only survive until the summer.

Lastly, the Queen will never pass on the throne to Prince William because she has no power to do so. The crown may only be handed over to the Queen’s direct heir, which is Prince Charles.

And Prince Charles is the only one who has the power to pass on the throne to his direct heir, Prince William.
