King Charles could turn the throne over to his eldest son, Prince William, a possibility that surfaced among royal experts just as Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced she was stepping down.
The 83-year-old monarch, who is the third cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II announced in her New Year’s Eve speech on Dec. 31 that she would step down on Jan. 14 and turn the crown over to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
Jan. 14 will be the 52nd anniversary of the day the Queen took the throne in 1972 after her father, King Frederik IX, died.
