King Charles was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year and was immediately put on treatment, with his public appearances being shorter than usual. Only a year after his coronation, the Royal’s funeral is reportedly getting set in place ahead of the inevitable.
A source revealed that the palace only portrays his condition in a positive light. However, things are going more awry than the public thinks. With death being an earlier-than-expected possibility, officials are starting to prepare for his passing.

The tipster noted that Charles’ reign and beyond will see some changes to the monarchy including a reduction in the number of royals to be on the Buckingham Palace balcony during events, and the removal of minors from the palace’s payroll.
‘Operation Menai Bridge’
Funeral proceedings for top-ranking royals are not hidden information, as it has been explained in the Netflix series The Crown. The code name for Queen Elizabeth II’s burial arrangements was “Operation London Bridge,” while that of Charles will be “Operation Menai Bridge.”
It starts with alerting the prime minister and key officials and then an official public announcement followed by a period of national mourning. These plans begin as soon as an English monarch ascends the throne; however, Charles undergoes constant adjustment for fear of a sudden need to implement them.
