There has been much speculation in recent months about the true state of health of King Charles III, after Buckingham Palace revealed that the monarch suffers from cancer.
Since that date, the British royalty has remained reserved regarding the royal president’s medical report and has limited itself to issuing some press releases in which he assures that he has progressed satisfactorily and received all the necessary treatments.
However, several media outlets have announced in recent hours that the monarch’s state of health has seriously deteriorated and they even say that preparations are being made for an eventual death.

The New York Post and The Daily Beast claim that friends and relatives of the British royal house have had access to the health status of the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and assure that he has “progressively deteriorated” and would be “very bad.”
According to the spokesperson, close to the royal family, Queen Camilla Parker’s husband “is determined to defeat the disease” and “has thrown all his weight into it,” however, his deterioration “is evident.”

In fact, The Daily Beast adds that the British royal house is already preparing the so-called ‘Operation Menai Bridge’, which details the funeral ceremonies of the 75-year-old monarch, as well as the steps that the monarchy would have to follow in the face of the new successor.
The components of the Menai Bridge operation have been updated regularly since the day of Queen Elizabeth’s death and have been intensified after learning of the illness suffered by King Charles III. Now, the media claim that there is more movement in the Palace due to the apparent deterioration of the king’s health.

The Menai Bridge operation consists of a document of more than 100 pages in which are found, in detail, all the plans and steps to follow after the death of the monarch, although the British royalty has been emphatic in stating that the preparation of this document is a standard, common and routine process that has been carried out for hundreds of generations.
The name ‘Menai Bridge’ was given, in fact, by Charles III himself. It is a suspension bridge that connects the island of Anglesey with Wales. It is worth remembering that the monarch has a special affection for Wales. Therefore, he made the decision that the document receive this name.

British media claim that Operation Menai Bridge would be carried out in the same way as Operation London Bridge, where the funeral ceremonies of Queen Elizabeth III were detailed.
For the moment, there is silence in Buckingham Palace. If the king dies, Prince William would be king of the United Kingdom.
