King Charles’ health conditions are worsening day by day, which leads Buckingham Palace officials to keep a regularly updated plan for his forthcoming funeral, insiders said.
According to The Daily Beast, a friend of the monarch gave a sad update on his health, claiming he is “very unwell.”
Another source gives an update and reveals: “The [funeral] plans have been dusted off and are actively being kept up to date.
“It’s no more than what you would expect given the king has been diagnosed with cancer. But the circulation of them has certainly focused minds,” they noted.
However, a second insider close to a senior official involved in the planning of royal funerals reassured the public that the planning is the customary approach to prepare for a British monarch’s inevitable death.
“Of course they are looking at every aspect of Menai Bridge. The queen’s funeral went like clockwork and set a high bar,” they claimed.
“It’s not an emotional thing, it’s a job, one taken very seriously, and understandably no-one plans to get caught out.”
For the unversed, the King’s death is codenamed Operation Menai Bridge in a nod to a dramatic suspension bridge that connects the island of Anglesey with the Welsh mainland.
Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February, days after undergoing surgery for treatment of his enlarged prostate.
