HRC = no (she's not alive) but the replacement "announces" possibly as a chess move to trigger PANIC in DC but there is zero chance it goes the distance.
Speaking of chess: If what is being said is true, then the most useless chess piece will be making a move very soon in England. When you move that piece it's usually near the end, and the move is a panic move, but sadly more often than not the piece is taken off the board soon afterwards. Check-Mate.
Any one want to bet on how long William will be King?

Possibly a long time. There seems to be a deep-seated dislike of Prince Charles, and I suspect it goes well beyond his divorce from Dianna. Perhaps Chuckie has his own skeletons, which are known to certain people but not discussed publically?
Few are those who haven’t heard about the British legend of King Arthur and the sword in the stone that gave him the power of belief and united an entire nation. Of course, we all know that this is nothing more than a story, but what many people don’t know is that Italy has its own version of the Excalibur legend. Here is the story about the sword of St. Galgano Guidotti.
Known for being one of the most remarkable relics of the Middle Ages, the sword of St. Galgano Guidotti was, according to the popular belief, plunged into a stone by Galgano Guidotti, a 12th century Tuscan knight.
It all began after the Archangel Michael ordered the knight to give up his sinful habits. At first, Guidotti objected, saying that it would be much easier for him to cut a stone with his sword than to renounce his worldly desires and sinful habits. According to the legend, his blade passed easily through the stone, where it remains stuck to date......
Bob Willis' golden period as a world-class fast bowler culminated in the 1981 Ashes and the Headingley Test. Australia needed just 76 more runs to win with 9 wickets in hand and Bob Willis was in a trance not even celebrating his wickets. Such was his concentration that people thought he was on drugs! What happened in that match has become part of cricketing folklore. England followed on and were seven wickets down for 135 in their second innings. Botham, sacked as captain before the Test, smashed a remarkable 149 not out. And then, supported by Graham Dilley and Chris Old, he gave England a lead of 129 runs.
Then, with Australia poised to go two up in the series, Willis charged in and took 8 for 43 to bundle Australia out for 111 and see England home by 18 runs.
