King William - 1. The Call

King Charles the Third's sudden passing from complications related to his cancer treatment. William receives the life-changing phone call while at their Windsor home. The immediate succession and the weight of an unexpected crown.

The phone rings at seven fourteen in the morning, and everything changes forever. "Your Majesty"—two words that William has never heard addressed to him, spoken by his Private Secretary in a voice heavy with constitutional gravity.

The Crown awaits. And William must learn to be King while the whole world watches his first steps into a role that will define the rest of his life.
