Charles found out his mother The Queen was seriously ill at the same time as the rest of the world, according to reports. Buckingham Palace issued a statement at 12.30pm on Thursday last week saying the Queen was seriously ill and was under medical observation.
And the then Prince Charles, now King Charles III, was told the news at the same time via a telephone call, according to a senior royal expert. Newsweek’s Chief Royal Correspondent Jack Royston told True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat that Charles only found out about his mother's health moments before the rest of the world did.
An aide ran down a hallway to hand Charles a call, after which "everything was silent" in the room, reports The Express.
