As King Charles III starts out as the oldest new monarch in British history at the age of 73, he is very aware that his reign can never have the span or scope of his mother’s 70 years on the throne.
However, King Charles has accepted this as an opportunity for further collaboration with his son and heir Prince William, the new Prince of Wales. Images of William standing alongside his father and the Queen Consort at the historic Accession Council ceremony on Saturday showed a modern monarchy evolving, writes The Mirror.
Those close to the King and William have revealed to me their relationship has strengthened in recent years, with a mutual respect and aligned vision for the future of their family and the monarchy. The monarch has long planned for a slimmed-down version of the Firm, even before the downfall of the Duke of York and the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
