Royal commentator Richard Eden has urged Prince Charles to give up the throne for his son Prince William, claiming "it would be in the best long-term interests of the monarchy."
The royal commentator made this comments on his Twitter account amid news that the Metropolitan Police have launched investigation into Prince Charles’ charity overcash-for-honours allegations.
Amid the news, the royal commentator tweeted about Princess Diana’s interview with Martin Bashir, where the late royal suggested that Prince William would eventually become King instead of Prince Charles.
Richard said in a tweet: “I wonder if her prediction will end up being correct?”, to which a royal watcher said: “Poor form, Richard — are you suggesting Prince Charles’ life will be cut short ?? Or wishing upon it…”
Mr Eden replied: “No, of course not. I am suggesting that Prince Charles could abdicate in favour of William. As a royalist, I think this would be in the best long-term interests of the monarchy.”
