ALBAWABA - A British newspaper reported that the government is already planning for the futuristic funeral of British King Charles III's funeral sparking rumors about his health. 

Many questioned if King Charles III, 75, was okay considering that he had been getting treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. In February 2024, King Charles was diagnosed with a form of cancer, Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement.

The King began "regular treatments" and will postpone public duties during it, the Palace added.

Charles acceded to the British throne after his mother Queen Elizabeth's death on September 8, 2022. Charles III was the longest-serving British heir apparent, having surpassed Edward VII's record of 59 years on 20 April 2011. 

The Daily Beast newspaper announced that the British family and authorities are secretly planning the funeral of King Charles III to be ready for any emergency.

However, this is not the first time a British media outlet has reported that the royal family is preparing for the funeral of King Charles, in April similar news was reported by the Economic Times and other outlets.

It is worth mentioning that Prince William, son of King Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales, is the next person in line to ascend the throne and become the King of Britain. 

Despite the Daily Beast piece, that the royal family is planning the funeral of King Charles III, no new updates were made by Buckingham Palace or any official source regarding the health of the King.
