Since the surprising change of throne in Denmark, other royal families could also follow suit. A long-time observer of Charles III. trusts him to take the step.
London – After the sudden abdication of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (83), who had dedicated herself to the crown for her entire life, much thought was given to the attitude of other European royal families who might decide to follow the same path. Apparently Paul Burrell (65), who worked as a butler for Princess Diana (36, † 1997) for over ten years, also had such thoughts about King Charles III. (75), which he also placed loudly in the British press.
Paul Burrell: “King Charles and Camilla follow a 10-year plan,” after which it’s over
His guess is that the British monarch will also try to give up the throne early to make room for Prince William (41) and his wife Kate Middleton (42). “I think the king and queen have given this office 10 years, they’re following a 10-year plan,” Burrell speculates.

He doesn’t believe that Charles III. Burrell further explained that he wanted to continue being king when the crowned heads of Europe gradually handed over their power to their heirs, while he had to watch their successors become monarchs and enjoy it in their younger years.
In Burrell’s eyes, King Charles follows Prince Philip more than Queen Elizabeth II.
In his eyes, King Charles is more like Prince Philip (99, † 2021), who is credited with saying “I have done enough” and then following his preferences. The Queen was completely different: “The Queen would never have done that because she came from a different generation and her whole life was focused on being a monarch.” But he trusts King Charles to know exactly what to do: “He wants to dedicate himself to things that appeal to him.”
He also sees the step as a closing circle. “I think the country will welcome a new, young king and queen,” he says. After all, it is Diana’s son who will become king. The king himself, despite recently undergoing prostate surgery, has never said that he is thinking about handing over the throne to Prince William early. Conversely, it is at least an existing rumor that Prince William has ambitions to take over the throne sooner. Sources used: nypost.com, express.co.uk
