how King Charles III prepared to become sovereign in recent years

Never had a British heir waited so long, and never had anyone ascended the throne so aged. Prince Charles, who became King Charles III on the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September 8, had time to prepare to become sovereign. In recent years, the queen had given him the grueling representation trips abroad. He therefore traveled the world and took up more and more space in the Kingdom.

Prince Charles accompanied his mother to Westminster for the opening speeches of the parliamentary session. It was also he who welcomed Emmanuel Macron, in June 2020, for the 80th anniversary of the appeal of June 18 by General de Gaulle. Charles had become unavoidable and appreciated, or rather reconciled with the British. For the popularity of the new king had hit rock bottom. In 1997, on the death of his ex-wife, Lady Diana, Charles was hated, judged by public opinion as the main responsible for the divorce. The princess had revealed her husband’s infidelity and his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, his childhood sweetheart.
