Queen Elizabeth II led her subjects with a quiet grace and dignity, embodying the term, “never complain, never explain”.
Throughout her seven decades on the throne, Her Majesty was famously neutral, never entering into politics or offering opinions.
Now, palace insiders are preparing for her heir to turn everything upside down.
After waiting 73 years to ascend the throne, King Charles III has “a crystal clear vision” of how he wants to reign.
“He understands why his mother was much admired for her approach,” says a source.
“But Charles also believes people know he is not his mother, and he plans to do things his way. It’s not going to be some immediate seismic shift to how things are done, but we will see Charles beginning to inject some of his beliefs into the monarchy in coming months.”
First to go, says one insider, will be the expectation that a monarch doesn’t meddle in political affairs – even if that brings accusations that he’s becoming a bit of a “nuisance”.
