In the wake of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, crucial discussions surrounding the royal succession have taken center stage. However, according to royal author Tom Quinn, Prince William is adamant about keeping his younger brother, Prince Harry, out of these pivotal conversations.
Prince William’s Firm Stance
“As a non-working royal, Harry is also no longer a counselor of state, and he is not being kept in the loop because there is zero chance he will be asked to help out,” Quinn revealed. “William is adamant that he does not want Harry involved in any aspect of succession discussions or in planning for counselors of state to help out if and when it becomes necessary.”

The author also sheds light on the urgency surrounding these succession discussions, noting, “Officials had assumed Charles would remain healthy at least into his mid-eighties before succession planning would need to begin, but in fact, it has now begun and indicates perhaps that Charles’ cancer is more dangerous than we have been led to believe.

With King Charles III’s health concerns accelerating the need for succession planning, the Prince of Wales’ decisive approach underscores his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for the monarchy’s future.
