Training
Prince William will probably have to wait for a long period of time before he becomes the King, but Queen Elizabeth II has been training Prince William ever since he was little to prepare him for this important role in his life. Robert Lacey, a historian, talked about William’s bond with Queen Elizabeth II for People. “There has always been a special closeness between William and the Queen, and she has taken a particular interest in him. It’s no secret that she and Charles have had a prickly relationship at times.”He added, “When William became a teenager, she would have him at Windsor Castle and would open the state boxes and guide him through the papers. It was William’s constitutional education.”
What is to happen when Queen Elizabeth II dies?
When Queen Elizabeth II passes away, her son, Prince Charles will become the King of England, Prince William will then take his father’s current position as the Duke of Cornwall, and once Prince Charles grants him the title Prince of Wales, his family will go from Cambridge to Wales. Prince William will have more royal duties as the Prince of Wales, but given his training and his current royal engagements, that will be a piece of cake for him.

Queen Elizabeth II is 92 years old, and she is still in good shape. Prince Charles is also very healthy, which means that many, many, many years will pass before Prince William ascends to the throne. However, there are some reports that Prince Charles might pass the torch to the younger generations to rule, but we will just have to wait and see if that happens.
