“It’s clear he’s determined to beat the disease and they’re betting everything on that. Everyone remains optimistic, but he’s really in a really bad way, more than they’re letting on.”a source close to the royal family told the aforementioned website.
The same source also said that the state of health of William and Harry’s father is so worrying that the protocol regarding his funeral, which was given the name ‘Operation Menai Bridge’, has been updated frequently.
“The plans have been reviewed and are constantly being updated”said this same source, who added that the dossier of details about Charles III’s funeral began to be prepared the day after Elizabeth II’s death and contains hundreds of pages.
The official military officers, with whom the Daily Beast spoke, also confirmed that the update of the funeral protocol for the king of England has been constant, but that this has nothing to do with the health status of Charles III, being just a normal procedure. “SIt would be absurd to interpret anything else from this.”the military highlighted.
An official involved in planning the royal funerals explained why this was so early. “It is clear that they are looking at every aspect of the ‘Menai Bridge’. The Queen’s funeral went like clockwork and set a high standard. It is not an emotional thing, it is work taken very seriously and it is absolutely understandable that no one I planned to be taken by surprise.”
Another source added that all this preparation is related to organization and security for that day. “A gigantic security operation is needed, because all the most important people on the planet will be there. We are talking about an entire apparatus, from anti-missile defense to protection against an isolated attack. And as any death can happen suddenly, every detail has must be meticulously planned in advance.”
