‘Serious and detailed thought’ behind queen’s death
Queen Elizabeth discussed where she would die with her family, “endearingly reluctant to cause unnecessary inconvenience to others,” the author Robert Hardman writes in an extract from his latest book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story in the Mail on Sunday.
“There was a moment when she felt that it would be more difficult if she died at Balmoral,” Princess Anne reveals—every monarch since the creation of Great Britain had died in England, Hardman notes. Anne continues, “And I think we did try and persuade her that shouldn’t be part of the decision-making process. So I hope she felt that that was right in the end.”
