There are a lot of rumors circulating about the king and what problems he is battling, including his cancer which have been kept under wraps.
Things like the severity of his illness, even the treatment options available to him, were ‘downgraded’ earlier this year. All these have heated up the market of rumours. But the most widespread of them are comments related to talks about abdication.

The second rumor is that the King has already handed over most of the power and control to Prince William and is planning his abdication as we speak under the code word Operation Menai Bridge. However, it would be pertinent to mention that no official report has emerged confirming this news.
