Funeral arrangements for King Charles have been unveiled as his battle with pancreatic cancer intensifies.
Despite his relatively short reign of 18 months since ascending to the throne on May 6, 2023, preparations are already in place for the eventual passing of King Charles III.
Operation London Bridge, previously activated upon Queen Elizabeth II’s death to ensure a smooth transition of power to her son, Prince Charles, is now being revisited as Prince Charles’ health deteriorates.
As his cancer worsens, insiders reveal that plans for King Charles’ final resting place, known as “Operation Menai Bridge,” are being given significant attention. The operation is named after the historic Menai Bridge in Anglesey, Wales.
“It’s a fairly common thing to do among the British royalty, but in Charles’ case expediency is necessary,” says the source, who notes that “some courtiers believe Charles’ cancer is worse than they’re making it out to be.”
“Operation Menai Bridge” is set to include familiar protocols. When the monarch dies, Charles’ body will be moved from the throne room at Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. He will lie in state, and his official funeral will take place nine days later. He will likely be buried in the royal vault at Windsor Castle.
The update comes shortly after a separate high ranking royal insider told In Touch that Charles is not only battling pancreatic cancer – a timely update given that he did not share what kind of cancer he was diagnosed with – but has a mere two years to live.
“King Charles is much sicker than the palace lets on and simply isn’t up to the job of running his fractious family, the crown’s business interests and fulfilling the daily duties of the monarchy,” the member of the royal inner circle revealed in early March.
“His cancer is eating him alive. He’s very frail. The situation is desperate.”
Even Queen Camilla is said to be frustrated by Charles’ declining health and weakened status.
“Behind the scenes, Camilla is disgusted by the king’s apparent weakness and is providing him little comfort as he battles his fatal cancer,” a palace courtier told In Touch in early March.”
Buckingham Palace announced in February that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer. The form of cancer was not disclosed and there were speculations it was prostate cancer because the condition was identified during an operation that treated the British monarch’s benign prostate enlargement. However, a palace spokesperson clarified that Charles does not have prostate cancer.
The high-ranking royal insider who spoke to In Touch has now claimed that Charles is battling pancreatic cancer and has been given a short time to live.
