King Charles is preparing his son Prince William to take over the throne "at a moment's notice." If that happens, Harry and Andrew, who are considered outcasts by the royal family, will never be able to enter the house again.
RadarOnline.com has learned that the royal exiles are trying to sneak their way back into public life. They know that Charles is their only chance of salvation, but William is adamant that they stay in the wilderness of the kingdom.
The king is still fighting a very hard cancer, and William and Kate Middleton are ready to become the next king and queen of the United Kingdom.
A source told us, "King Charles's recent health problems have put Prince William and the Princess of Wales on high alert, as they prepare for the possibility of taking the throne sooner than planned."
"They are still hopeful that he will get better and wish him many more years in power, but they can't ignore the harsh reality that things could change at any time."
"The king's stay in the hospital last week was a sobering reminder of his ongoing health problems. It also showed the family that they don't have much control over when the next king will take over."
"King Charles knows this too, and he has been getting William ready to take over right away."
"Every day it looks more likely that the change will happen, whether it's because King Charles abdicates because his health is getting worse or because of the deep sadness of his death."
"William and Kate still hope that the King gets better, but it's clear that they are ready to do their jobs if they have to."
"The royal family understands the importance of planning for the future, and although the thought of losing Charles is difficult, they are prepared for what may come."
