Prince Charles To Abdicate Amid Charity Scandal And More Royal Gossip

Prince Charles has been embroiled in scandal since it was revealed that a close aide resigned amid an investigation into the Prince’s Foundation. There have even been rumors that Charles will abdicate the throne following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth so that his son Prince William can rule in his stead.
