I think there has been speculation because Charles is deeply unpopular, and him being monarch will lower support for the monarchy compared to Elizabeth, who had significant personal popularity. I think he probably very much wants to be king, but may get push back internally if it doesn't go well.
Personally, I think he'll do it for a year (or maybe a few) and then abdicate "for health reasons" giving way for (very popular) William to have a long reign.
