Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be feeling some anxiety if there were a decree that King Charles would pass the throne to Prince William on his 80th birthday.
After all, Harry and Meghan have been critical of the royal family in recent years, and they may be worried that they would be excluded from the line of succession if William became king.

Of course, there is no guarantee that such a decree exists. But if it does, it would certainly be a major change for the royal family.
Here are some additional details about the situation:
King Charles is currently 73 years old.
Prince William is currently 39 years old.
The average lifespan for a British male is 81 years old.
So, it is possible that King Charles could live to be 80 years old. If he did, and if there were a decree that he would pass the throne to Prince William on his 80th birthday, then Harry and Meghan would be bumped down to third and fourth in line to the throne, respectively.
Of course, it's also possible that King Charles would decide to abdicate the throne before he turns 80. If he did, then William would become king immediately, and Harry and Meghan would remain in their current positions in the line of succession.
Only time will tell what will happen. But one thing is for sure: the headline is sure to get some attention.
It's worth noting that the headline is somewhat sensationalized. There is no evidence that such a decree exists. However, the headline does play on the public's interest in the future of the British monarchy.
