Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022, King Charles took the British throne. Since then, Charles has seemingly embraced his role as monarch. But according to one royal expert, The King once described himself as "a prisoner," who allegedly felt trapped "in his own life."
In the book My Mother and I, royal expert Ingrid Seward revealed, "By his own admission, Charles was not very good at positive thinking. He was, he complained, 'a prisoner' in his own life. And he did what he always did when faced with a situation he could not control—he walked away from it."
