After the death of his mother Elizabeth II, mother of four children, Charles also inherited his private fortune, a colossal heritage that he will receive without having to pay inheritance tax, a privilege reserved for royal successions.
The announcement of his death fell at the end of the day via Buckingham Palace after new concerns about his health emerged the day before and then the same day. “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and Queen consort will remain at Balmoral tonight and return to London tomorrow“, said the palace in a press release, an announcement greeted by enormous emotion in the United Kingdom where Elizabeth II, wife of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who died on April 9, 2021, was very popular. Her funeral in the abbey of Westminster are now organized.
The disappearance of the British sovereign comes a few weeks after her jubilee, in June precisely, during which she had not been able to participate in all the events, showing herself only twice briefly on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in front of dozens of thousands of people and in the presence of his famous descendants. A few weeks later, however, William and Harry’s grandmother showed up several times for public appearances in Scotland, appearing smiling and with a cane during an armed forces parade in Edinburgh in late June. Until the end, she will have wanted to show the image of a solid woman.
