ALBAWABA - Buckingham Palace has revealed "Operation Menai Bridge." funeral plans for King Charles III, who is fighting pancreatic cancer. Despite his recent elevation to the throne, the King's burial has been prepared, similar to "Operation London Bridge."

The British monarchy faced a major problem when Buckingham Palace announced King Charles III's pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Since taking the throne 18 months ago, the King's health has required rigorous funeral plans under "Operation Menai Bridge." This operation, like "Operation London Bridge," details the complex processes to follow after the King's death.

Given his severe sickness, royal family sources have stressed the importance of concluding King Charles III's burial plans. Royals sometimes make similar preparations, but others believe the King's condition is worse than thought.

Traditional ceremonies include transporting the King's body from Buckingham Palace's Throne Hall to Westminster Hall for public display during "Operation Menai Bridge". The official funeral ritual will likely end with King Charles III's interment at Windsor Castle's royal vault after nine days of sorrow.

High-level royal family sources also illuminate King Charles III's health crisis. With only two years to live, the King's disease has weakened him, making him unable to perform his regal duties. Observers have seen the King's health deteriorating despite attempts to maintain normalcy.

Prince William's willingness to take the throne has raised concerns as the monarchy prepares for a power shift. Princess Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis and treatment have compounded Prince William's absence from the royal calendar, raising worries about the monarchy's future leadership.
