Prince William is 40 years old

William was born second in the British succession to the throne since June 21, 1982, and will be the ruler of the United Kingdom after his father, Prince Charles of Wales.

However, Prince William turns 40 at a time when more and more of the royal family is in charge of him and Charles.

The current ruler, the 96-year-old II. Queen Elizabeth, the grandmother of Queen Elizabeth, has been consciously and continuously handing over her responsibilities to the younger generation for some time, although, of course, she still fulfills the responsibilities of being the head of state.

The Queen, who has been on the UK throne for 70 years, an unprecedented time in the history of the millennium Anglo-British monarchy, has been traveling abroad for years, almost without exception, to international visits under the ruling's jurisdiction - and increasingly to domestic ones. It is handled by Károly and Vilmos.

It was also a clear sign of the transition that II. On the 70th anniversary of his accession to the British and Commonwealth peoples, Queen Elizabeth spoke specifically of her own succession for the first time, naming her first-born son, Prince Charles, 74 years old.

At the same time, the ruler put an end to the speculation as to whether Charles or William would follow him on the throne.
The succession of Prince Charles has been the subject of debate in Britain for many years. As early as 1995, a year before their divorce, Princess Diana, Charles' first wife, who died in 1997, openly questioned her husband's ability to rule in a shocking BBC interview around the world, saying she was "not convinced that Charles" could adapt to the royal title. ".

However, the generational leap is neither considered likely nor justified by British constitutional scholars and historians. There is no explicit legal reason or precedent as to why Charles should not be the next British monarch, and according to unofficial but not refuted information, Prince William also explicitly insists on following the order of succession.
At the same time, experts are confident that during Charles' future reign, William will be very active, in an unspoken role as "co-ruler," and his father and son will work together to modernize and streamline the British monarchy.
