King Charles: Portrait of a King

On the 8th of September 2022, Charles's life would change forever. At the exact moment of his mother's death, the Prince of Wales became King Charles Ill. The extraordinary reign of Queen Elizabeth Il ended, and the day he had spent a lifetime preparing for had arrived. A moment he would later say he had dreaded his whole life. Buckingham Palace announced the Queen was under medical supervision, and one by one members of the royal family were making their way to Balmoral to see the Queen. Charles and Anne made it back to Balmoral to be with their beloved mother as she peacefully passed away. The end of the second great Elizabethan era, and a time of tremendous sadness for the family. Broadcasters announced her death, and stated the King and Queen will return to London the following day. There is no pause in the continuity of the monarchy, and following his mother's example, Charles stepped into his duties as king.
