A royal expert insists Prince William and Kate Middleton have been told that they might have to bear the “burden” of the throne sooner than usual as Prince Charles might not have a long reign like the Queen of England. 

The Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge have been shouldering more royal responsibilities amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic partially because the 94-year-old monarch is self-isolating with her husband at Windsor Castle. Marlene Koenig, a royal historian stated that the 37-year-old Prince and his wife may have to take up greater responsibilities so that they can prepare themselves for greater responsibilities. 

The historian observed that the spotlight will be more on Prince William and Kate Middleton as they might have a longer reign as compared to Prince Charles. Koenig mentioned that the monarch is now 94-year-old but is in excellent health. She enjoys good genes and there are expert doctors to take care of her. However, a time will come when she would not be there anymore. 

As such, it is obvious that Charles will possibly have a shorter reign as compared to the current monarch because her coronation took place when she was just 25-year-old. The royal expert feels that the Cambridges may have to face a higher workload sooner than expected. 

Koenig further said the royal couple should shoulder more duties and the current health crisis has allowed them to gain greater prominence. This crucial insight comes at a moment when Bob Morris, a royal researcher mentioned that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall might be the Queen consort. 

However, she may not be crowned when Charles’ coronation takes place, Daily Express reports. Morris added Camilla will be Queen though it is not certain how she will be referred to. According to a law that came in effect in 1820, the Queen did not have the right to a coronation. 

In other news, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cambridge are now proud parents of three lovely children. There are several fruitful royal tours in their kitty and they have been working even amid the coronavirus lockdown. 

The couple now appears to be comfortable in their roles as senior Royal Family members. However, Middleton had some tough time when she was dating the Prince in the beginning as she had to allegedly adjust with several Royal Family traditions. 

According to another report by Daily Express, Prince William and Kate Middleton had a tough time after they graduated from university. The future Duchess had to struggle to establish her identity though she was not officially associated with the Royal Family then according to a royal expert.
