No time for losers.
Some have indicated that Charles might abdicate the throne to William under such a scenario. Maybe be king for a day, then step aside. The belief is he may not desire the attention he and Camilla would get, with Camilla being particularly unpopular with the British people.

If they weren’t there, would anyone miss them except the Royal Welfare Office?
