The British crown is in the center of attention due to the latest news that Buckingham Palace revealed a few hours ago: King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer. Information that has gone around the world and has generated great concern among the citizens of the United Kingdom.
For this reason, even Prince Harry has decided to fly from the United States, where he resides since he left the British crown, to visit his father in these difficult times. Given this, there have been many television collaborators who have wanted to give their opinion, and it has been Alessandro Lequio who has revealed that he could become king in a hypothetical case.
First of all, Lequio wanted to talk about what for him is a “half-way transparency exercise.” “Because they have said the first name, but not the last name. Cancers are like cars, it could be a Ferrari or a 600,” he continued.
Likewise, he has expressed that Carlos III has an advantage due to his age: “because he is old enough for the tumor to progress slowly and young enough to withstand the treatment vigorously.” Right after, he dropped the bomb: “I am number 500 in the line of succession. 499 with the departure of Harry.”
Something that would be reduced to 495 with the departure of Harry’s children with Meghan Markle and the departure of Prince Andrew. But it is not the only possibility he has of ending up on a throne. Alessandro Lequio has confessed that he is “among the first 30” in Spain.
After giving this information, the count expressed a thought that raised the hands of everyone present at the plate: “I was thinking that the reign of Charles III was intended to be brief, but it seems that it is going to be shorter.” than expected.”
Even so, he hopes that all this will remain in a “parenthesis” and that Charles III can continue reigning. Although he could face the shortest reign since the 18th century, as Lequio has said: “It was William IV, from 1830 to 1837, but it seems that he is going to snatch his position.”
Even so, with 500 people ahead of him in the line of succession, the chances of the collaborator ever reigning in the United Kingdom are practically zero. After the current king, the successor would be William, followed by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, his children.
