Prince Charles will not 'willingly step down from his destiny' to be king, a royal biographer has claimed. Prince Charles, who turns 72 tomorrow, is the longest-serving heir-apparent to the British throne and will be the oldest-ever King when he is crowned, but Lacey said he doesn't believe the Prince of Wales has any intention of stepping aside. 'But there is such loyalty and respect for the Queen, when we look to the future and say who could duplicate that in the future, could it be King Charles and Queen Camilla? 'Or would it much better be William and Kate who are already the focus of enormous popularity and are clearly stepping into the role of future sovereign. 'I myself don't think he would willingly step down from the destiny he has waited for so long.'
