There have been several signs that King Charles would have a challenging reign.
But most of all, there was an undeniable growing disillusionment with the royals.
Charles just didn’t seem to have the same pull his mother had.
In fact, several major celebrities had turned down the request to attend the coronation.
The royal family also faced criticism for allegedly arresting anti-monarchy demonstrators.
Coupled with these events, astrologer Lisa Stardust predicted that King Charles' reign would be difficult.
It’s been one year since his coronation and so far, the prediction has been apt.
In 2022, an anonymous submission on a celebrity gossip platform hinted at marital issues within the royal family.
No names were mentioned, but social media users speculated that the submission referred to William and Kate.
This might be because of speculation of friction betweenKate and Rose Hanbury.
Expectedly, these rumors reached the couple, but there were no official statements.
Instead, sources say thatthe affair rumors brought Kate and William closer together.
Undoubtedly, the added public scrutiny requires that the couple put extra work into keeping their marriage healthy.
That has got to be stressful!
However, we know that he postponed scheduled engagements to focus on select royal tasks and his cancer treatment.
Despite having access to world-class care, Charles’s interaction with patients highlighted the emotional toll of battling cancer.
“It’s always a bit of a shock, isn’t it, when they tell you?”
he recalled (viaNew York Post).
Not exactly what a recovering patient should be worrying about.
There were speculations of plastic surgery as well as rumors of a royal order for a hysterectomy.
For weeks, #WhereIsKateMiddleton trended across social media platforms.
The rumor went that the Princess of Wales had been murdered and was replaced by a body double.
This led people to draw similarities between Princess Diana and Catherine, starting up hurtful rumors.
Some wondered if the royal family had" done a sequel of Diana," indirectly laying serious accusations.
She alsoexplainedthat one reason they had been so secretive was to break the news to their children delicately.
Unfortunately, the Princess of Wales hasn’t been able to focus solely on her treatment.
Hopefully, the rest of the King’s reign will take an upward turn.
The royals are certainly due for some good news.
