Prince William will be there for the crown amid his father King Charles’ cancer treatment, even as he balances responsibilities at home during his wife Kate Middleton’s continued recovery from abdominal surgery.
A royal source tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s issue that the Prince of Wales, 41, is in regular contact with his father amid the news of the King’s cancer diagnosis. As King Charles, 75, steps back from public engagements and Princess Kate continues her months-long recuperation, it’s up to Prince William (along with Queen Camilla) to be the face of the monarchy.
“It is hard with Kate being ill as well, but he will step up,” says a source close to the royal household.
Although Prince William may undertake some duties on behalf of his father, there are currently no plans to appoint Counsellors of State to act on King Charles’ behalf. In times of need, the British sovereign can call on these members of the royal family to help manage the monarchy by acting on their behalf through the Letters Patent in the event of temporary incapacity or absence from the U.K.
