“Stepping down now would be the best decision for the monarchy,” the insider added.
Since “death is a possibility” for the ailing monarch, plans for King Charles’ funeral are also underway, sources claimed.
“The business of planning his funeral has already begun,” an insider told In Touch last month. “Unpleasant as it seems.”

Royal watchers have also speculated how Prince William may rule differently after he takes over the throne.
While King Charles has been called a “traditionalist,” some believe his son may not believe in “excessive spending” to have people “wait on them hand and foot.”
“In this day and age, when they’re trying to move towards a smaller monarchy, it shouldn’t be like ancient times when they’re having people wait on them hand and foot,” the source told Life & Style.
“King Charles is very much a traditionalist and has shown no signs of cutting back on his staff, but younger members of the family aren’t going to get away with that sort of excessive spending once William is in charge,” the source continued.
