Given that Queen Elizabeth II was nearing the end of her life, King Charles did not want to talk about her replacement.
The former Princess of Wales felt “strange” about the whole thing and did not want to think about the specifics of his mother’s passing or what would happen next.
A royal aide disclosed, as published in the Daily Mail: “He didn’t want to dwell on the facts. I believe he believed that pursuing your goals puts you in danger of failing.”
When she ascended to the British throne in 1947, Queen Elizabeth II vowed to serve her subjects for the rest of her life.
Her Majesty declared, “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be” during her address.
