Charles and Camilla were crowned last May but a lot has changed since then. Most notably it was announced last week that he and Princess Kate have health woes that require hospitalization.
On top of these personal crises, Charles’ royal peer, Denmark’s popular Queen Margrethe, abdicated on January 14.
Since then the chorus of calls for Charles to follow in her footsteps is growing. Earlier this month Queen Margrethe stepped down to allow her eldest son Crown Prince Frederik to become monarch.
