King Charles spent his mother's final hours foraging for mushrooms around Birkhall and enjoying being in the woods, while his sister Anne never left the late Queen's bedside, a new book has revealed.
In the evening of September 7, while presiding over a function at Dumfries House in East Ayrshire, Charles had been informed that the late Queen's death had suddenly deteriorated.
The following morning, he was flown by helicopter to Balmoral Castle to join his sister, Princess Anne, who was at their mother's bedside.
