He is the official head of state and head of the commonwealth.
William to some extent as the direct heir to the throne.
William just finished a month's internship at MI6.
Which is kind of interesting that it was made public.
The wives have no legal right to classified information, but I assume
they are kept informed about threats to their personal safety, etc.
Knowing too much puts them at unnecessary risk.
But yes the royal family knows more than we do.
I assume William is being read in a lot more these days.
The rumor on the internet is that Charles has pancreatic cancer with a life expectancy
of about 2 years.
I don't know if this is true or not.
But a cancer dx is never a good thing, so William is going to have to be ready to
assume the throne at any time.
Also I know Bum you and have talked about the time difference in terms of DU
and the British forums getting news. With the news of C-POW cancer dx, it hit
here on DU about 12 minutes before it appeared on the Brit forums.
I don't know if that is the actual time line of British release of information or as psychological
phenomenon. The Brits take bad news about the Royal family quite hard. It gobsmacks them
and they are so upset they literally cannot make a post for a short period of time.
So maybe a combination of a legit news lag and inability to function briefly.
