Even though it might seem like King Charles is getting better, experts say he is still very ill, and the palace is preparing for his funeral.

The plan for dealing with the king’s passing, known as Operation Menai Bridge, is already in place.

This plan is being prepared because there is a chance the 75-year-old king, who is fighting cancer, might not recover.

Despite just becoming king in 2022 after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles III’s time on the throne has been overshadowed by his health issues. As royal experts report that he is still very sick, preparations for his funeral are moving forward. This situation is bringing urgency to the plans, known as Operation Menai Bridge, which outline the steps following the king’s death.

In January 2024, less than a year after his coronation in May 2023, King Charles underwent a procedure to treat an enlarged prostate. However, by February, the palace announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer.

In a statement shared on February 10, 2024, through the royal family’s social media, Charles expressed his gratitude for the support and well wishes he received, noting that such kind thoughts are a great comfort to those affected by cancer.
