Charles of England left his mother, Elizabeth II, in the last moments of her life to go hunting for mushrooms

16 months have passed since her death, on September 8, 2022. Elizabeth II, Queen of England, died at the age of 96 after 70 years on the Throne and celebrating her Platinum Jubilee in style. Now we know more previously unpublished details that help us reconstruct what those last moments of his life were like, thanks to the royal biographer of the Daily Mail, Robert Hardman. We know that your son Charles, seeking peace, solitude and reflection in the fields of Balmoral, went for a walk and foraged for mushrooms on the day his mother died.

The monarch was in her beloved Balmoral Castle, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Two days before she died she continued working. She received in audiences the outgoing Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the incoming Premier, Liz Truss. Given Isabel's worsening health, Princess Anne notified her brother Charles, her heir, to come to the castle to be with her mother. She went by helicopter. The then Prince of Wales notified his two sons to also travel. And at this point the discrepancy arose.

Harry was uncomfortable with the suggestion that he fly alone, without Meghan. Even in his memoirs, the controversial book Spare (In the shadow), the Duke of Sussex said that this indication from his father seemed “absurd.” Now we also know from the newspaper that this inconvenience for Harry was diluted when he found out from Carlos himself that Kate would not travel to Scotland in those moments before the sovereign's death either. As it happens, the newspaper says, it was Kate who decided not to move and stay at home with her three young children. A thoughtful absence that favored Carlos, the House and peace in the family in those delicate days. Below, image of the princes with their respective wives at the sovereign's funeral.
