The Palace line tonight is that he would have gone to Brazil \u201cif his schedule allowed.\u201d But the truth, as these astonishing new images attest, is that his illness is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/king-charles-just-broke-decades-175000530.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:taking a heavier toll;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> taking a heavier toll<\/a> than the institution will admit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In April, <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2025\/04\/29\/royal-family\/prince-william-is-being-groomed-as-the-next-king-of-england\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Page Six;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Page Six<\/a> noted that the Prince of Wales was walking side-by-side with other elder statesmen at the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome. \u201cWilliam did extremely well at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/prince-william-meeting-donald-trump-161014833.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:[the reopening of] Notre Dame;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[the reopening of] Notre Dame<\/a>, leading the British contingent.

Still, the monarch is attending as many royal events as he can, which isn\u2019t Prince William\u2019s style. If anything should happen to King Charles, it might signal the end of an old-school era because William is ready to lead in a much different way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Before you go, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/28-best-royal-tell-books-222340654.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to find out which tell-all books expose major royal family secrets. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/28-best-royal-tell-books-222340654.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Finding Freedom, Lady in Waiting\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1756585691_222_16e8cb821059b2f027612aef11117f92.jpeg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finding Freedom, Lady in Waiting<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of SheKnows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.sheknows.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SheKnows&#039; Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SheKnows&#8217; Newsletter<\/a>.
