LONDON, Sept 17 — The day after his mother, Britain’s longest serving monarch, died, King Charles and his wife Camilla surprised well-wishers gathered outside Buckingham Palace in London by getting out of their car to greet them.
That had been a rare misstep by Queen Elizabeth, a monarch widely admired for steadfast service to her country, and experts believe it marked a turning point in the royal family’s relationship with the public. His children, including heir-to-the-throne Prince William, and their wives are more informal still in their interactions with people, reflecting younger generations’ less deferential attitude towards the crown.
“Charles always has been a more emotional person, worn his heart on his sleeve, much more than his mother, and he’s been criticised for it. Well now, heart on the sleeve, emotions of mourning and dedication, he’s conveyed those very well.” Charles’ accession to the throne has also led to renewed calls from politicians and activists in some former colonies, including in the Caribbean, to remove the monarch as their head of state.File photo of Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh looking at the mass of floral tributes laid outside Buckingham Palace in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, September 5. — Reuters pic
For others, it was seen a natural move by a family looking to protect the young princes - and the queen herself said that in an address to the nation about Diana.
