A survey in 2019 showed that almost half of the British population wanted Prince Charles to stay away and let his eldest son William become the next king. The BMG Research poll for The Independent revealed that 46% of Britons wanted the first to immediately move away from the throne to allow the Duke of Cambridge to take over. In addition, 27% of respondents expressed "strong support" for the direct transmission of the crown to William.
In the YouTube 2015 documentary The Prince Charles Madness, royal experts are wondering if Prince Charles should win the top job.
In the documentary, Paul Henke, Prince Charles's former comrade in the Royal Navy, said, "I think it's very hard to be the king that's been waiting for so long.
"On the other hand, we all live longer, the queen will live much longer. Let us hope that Prince Charles ascends the throne and lives long.
"The worst thing that can happen is for his son [Prince William] to come on the throne too young. "
Royal biographer Penny Junor thinks Charles "thinks he'll become king".
She added, "I certainly do not think he is preparing to hand over to William or to give up.
"I think he's going to become king."
Royal author Gill Knappett wrote in a 2018 book entitled "Charles, Prince of Wales": "Prince William does not wish to take the throne early".
"Although, like his father, William is destined to have a much shorter reign than his grandmother, he has no desire to" climb the ladder of royalty "before his time."
At common law, Prince Charles will automatically become king at the death of the Queen and Prince William will only become king if Prince Charles chooses to abdicate.
This would require legislation, as was the case with the Abdication Act Declaration of 1936.
According to a study by the Constitutional Unit of University College London, for the Queen, "abdication is considered unthinkable" for two reasons.
The first is the "bad example of Edward VIII and how his abdication provoked a constitutional crisis of the British monarchy".
The second is "her statement to her 21st birthday that she would remain all her life, whether it be short or long".
It is said that she considers her oath to her coronation as imposing a sacred duty to reign as long as she will live.
