Prince William is expected to step up as his father, King Charles III, is recuperating following prostate surgery and resting amid his cancer treatment. A royal correspondent said that while this is a given being he is next in line to the throne, it is also a scary prospect because at the moment the Prince of Wales just wants to take care of his wife, Kate Middleton.
Jennie Bond, who worked as BBC's royal correspondent for 14 years, said that the 41-year-old will "be feeling very serious about life" amid this challenging time for the working royals. She told OK! that "this is not a time in which he wanted to take on extra responsibilities".
