“The queen had died lengthy earlier than we heard the information”

And, maybe, to go away some privateness to the royal household within the first hours of their mourning?
Sure, however solely Princess Anne and King Charles have been at her bedside when she died, based on British royal chroniclers.

Charles and Elizabeth, an inseparable “duo”

In his first press launch, King Charles talks about his ‘beloved mom’. Did the bond between them ever loosen?
No. It is true that she did not fairly perceive that he was divorcing him, that he wasn’t preventing for his marriage any extra. However Elizabeth and Charles have been a duo: if you find yourself sovereign, you may get indignant, however not along with your inheritor. They’d a seemingly chilly relationship. It is a query of upbringing: neither of them was introduced as much as present their emotions. Charles didn’t obtain tenderness from his mom, however on the identical time she confirmed him loads of belief, respect. They usually have the identical humorousness: we keep in mind Charles’ respectful approach of all the time saying each “mummy” and “Her Majesty”. I consider he’s actually upset. He is a delicate man, in fact, however what struck me most in regards to the press launch is that it evokes a interval of mourning and alter.

Why ?
As a result of it tells us instantly: the paradigms are going to alter. I feel we’re going to transfer in direction of a extra austere, smaller, much less tedious and fewer formal monarchy. The coronation won’t resemble that of 1953. The royal household shall be decreased to its easiest expression, the brothers of Charles must go to work elsewhere. He will put the household in a little bit of a bind. It is a change of period, a change of air, a change of world.

I feel Charles is basically upset. He is a delicate man

Nevertheless, we generally have the impression that it’s a reign of “transition” earlier than the arrival of Kate and William, who appear extra capable of modernize the monarchy…
Charles III is 74 years previous, his reign is essentially a reign of transition. But it surely’s a really helpful transition to determine William’s throne, by ridding it of the tinsel of the previous, issues which are somewhat too cumbersome inherent in custom. We should not overlook {that a} good custom is a practice that evolves.

The return of Prince Harry?

The place of the prince harry asks questions. He’s the final to reach at Balmoral, the primary to go away… Ought to we learn this within the gentle of the Megxit and the tensions that stored him away from the royal household? Had he, regardless of all the things, remained near the queen?
No, he in all probability went again to his spouse. I consider Harry shall be right here inside the subsequent ten days. We won’t think about that he and his spouse Meghan Markle shall be absent from the funeral, which can happen in ten days. The queen noticed that Harry kicked within the stretchers, however she stored her affection for him. On the identical time, when it was essential to determine and determine if he stored his titles or not (after the “Megxit”, Editor’s notice)she mentioned “no, it’s a must to select”, by which she was proper. She informed him very kindly, however Harry needed to determine his future and assume it. It was she, little doubt, who understood essentially the most, on the time of Diana’s dying, what he was going by means of. She understood his errors, his issues, she was very near this child whose weaknesses she noticed. That did not imply she did not love her different grandchildren, however she had a particular affection for him, he made her giggle. Their relationship clearly went past protocol. He had requested her to talk with Barack Obama in regards to the Invictus Video games (the Paralympic sports activities competitors created by Prince Harry, Ed), for instance. After which she admired the navy: her son Andrew was one, and Harry too.
