About this listen
The relationship between the late Monarch and her son, the King, has long been a subject of fascination. The upbringing of an heir is especially important and places an extra burden on top of all the cares of motherhood. The demands placed on the monarch are unique and there was no one better placed to know this than the late Queen. She knew that not only must they be figureheads, but they must be seen to care for others less fortunate than themselves. They are also expected to uphold family values. Princess Elizabeth made it a point of maternal honour to try and build her routine around her young son while doing her duty. When she became Queen, it was a more delicate balance, but one which she eventually learnt to sustain.
Unlike his self-contained mother, who always put duty above personal happiness, King Charles needed love and support to function properly. This is the story of how Charles was shaped and moulded by his heritage. His mother was the woman he always loved but could never be close to. As Queen she held the Pandora’s box of the crown and all he could do was wait and learn. In his mother’s old age, he finally received the affection and respect from her he had craved for so long. This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his family and his friends, from the moment the guns saluted his birth to the day he was officially declared as the King at his Coronation.©2024 Ingrid Seward.

Interesting to hear about the relationship between The Queen and King Charles
I liked that the book only touched on the relationship with Prince Harry as Prince Harry has become a thorn in the Royal Families lives and the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have had to bite their tongues while being spoken about in the press in the most disrespectful way and Prince Harry doesn’t need anything else to complain about to anyone who will listen.

Mother and son getting together
I enjoyed very much. There is nothing wrong about it. I always thought that the late Queen had a great sense of humor.
