Royal expert Duncan Larcombe observed, \u201cDonald Trump is openly criticizing the prime minister, which is something that Charles hasn\u2019t had to cope with before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Larcombe also said that the king is likely to continue his royal duties despite the pressure of abdication, saying, \u201cI would say this: If he felt he could not carry out his duties because of ill health, and if he feels that his health was in any way affecting his position, then he would not necessarily look to stand down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ROYAL RIFT?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Originally reported by Sreemanti Sengupta on <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/06\/01\/prince-william-wants-king-charles-step-down-throne\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Reality Tea<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Royal Insider Claims Prince William Pressures King Charles to Step Down;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/celebrities\/1783169-prince-william-wants-king-charles-step-down-throne\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Royal Insider Claims Prince William Pressures King Charles to Step Down<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince William is reportedly being more insistent in urging King Charles, 77, to step down from the throne and focus on his health issues.
