Here’s how King Charles III may shake up the royal family in the wake of Queen Elizabeth’s death.
“The fact the Sussex camp did say both Harry and Meghan were going — and then quickly retracted that statement — will tell you everything you need to know about the drama behind the scenes.”
“With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given,” Charles said.It was a reference to lyrics from John Tavener’s “Song for Athene,” which was performed at Diana’s funeral as her cortège departed from Westminster Abbey on Sept. 6, 1997.The Queen passed peacefully Thursday with family at her bedside.
“History is history. The royal family does like us to remember their glorious past and here and there they would like us not to remember their less glorious moments,” Jephson said. “Now the day has arrived when he really has to step up. In theory, he could be King tomorrow … that is the mindset that he and his advisers now have to be in … When I was working for the Prince and Princess of Wales, we knew that at any minute they could become King and Queen.”
“We do know that he is funded by money from the Queen’s Duchy of Lancaster estate but the precise details of that are shrouded in a fog of pea-soup proportions,” author David McClure previously told the UK Press Association.
