While King Charles III has been living a challenging life between his royal duties and cancer, his son, Prince William, has been busy drafting a plan for when he takes the throne. According to RadarOnline.com, William, 42, has prepared a blueprint for what he intends to do with his brother, Prince Harry, and sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.
The leaked plan also provided insights into his grand efforts for “princess promotion” and his eldest child, Prince George.
When he becomes the king, Prince William intends to strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles, according to the aforementioned tabloid. In addition, he is not so willing to invite the pair to his coronation ceremony as well. “He sees no reason to even invite him to his coronation,” said a close friend of William.
According to a former courtier, “William has no direct contact with Harry anymore, so it will be a clean break. A royal succession is always a good moment to make decisive changes. It will be among the first things he will do.”
“He doesn’t think their rift will ever heal, and it’s better to move on,” added a close acquaintance of the Prince of Wales.
Harry was caught in the king-in-waiting’s crossfire ever since he released his controversial memoir, Spare. His recent bombshell interview with BBC further added fuel to the fire.
“He no longer trusts Harry, and he can’t forgive him for smearing Kate (Middleton) and saying the other things in his book Spare,” the friend added.

The succession plan also includes what the would-be king of Britain has thought about disgraced Prince Andrew. RadarOnline.com reports that in light of his alleged involvement with Jeffery Epstein and the s—al assault allegations, Prince Andrew could be banished from public life by William.
On the contrary, the Prince of Wales actually has some grand plans for his cousins, Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 35, and his eldest son, Prince George, 11.
According to RadarOnline.com, William would reportedly allow charity and foundation to be promoted by Beatrice and Eugenie. Charles was said to leave the decision on him so that the overall appeal of the Royal Family is elevated.

“They’re valuable assets, and I’m certain they’ll be involved in royal duties when William becomes king. I’m sure they would like to do more, and they’re just waiting in the wings to be asked,” royal biographer Ingrid Seward told RadarOnline.com.
While William himself is yet to take the throne, he has already drafted an action plan to mentor his eldest son, George, who will take his position in the future. According to sources, William and Kate have been taking “gentle” approach to prepare him for the big moment.
Since he was seven, George has been making planned public appearances, getting himself ready for the future duties.
“William is happy to have George by his side, and he’s slowly preparing him for his destiny,” said royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.
