Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, and the English monarchy hasn’t stopped making headlines ever since. Now one of her best friends, Gales Brandreth, presents Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait. A biography that has revealed many unknown things about the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. A few days ago, he revealed that Elizabeth II did not die of old age as she had stated on her death certificate, but that she had been suffering from bone cancer for some years. This hurt her a lot, but she never failed in any of her commitments. In fact, three days before she died, she met Lizz Truss, the British prime minister who only lasted a few weeks.
new roles
Not only has King Carlos III new responsibilities since his mother’s death, many family members have undergone major changes in their lives. Especially the Princes of Wales who are next on their way to the throne and that pressure is already being felt. Both William and Kate have a number of restrictions they didn’t have before, including not being able to take pictures or sign autographs.
A people has surrendered at his feet
Queen Elizabeth II has experienced several controversies in her more than 70-year reign, one of the strongest being with Lady Di and her failed marriage to the current king.

The reforms in the monarchy
Among the objectives set by Carlos III is that of being able to modify the monarchy to make it a more modern institution. They understand that they are not having one of their most popular moments, especially with Camilla as queen, a decision that Elizabeth II made before she died and that the British people want nothing to do with. In addition to this, several Commonwealth countries want to become republics, which worries the king a lot and for which he plans to make the longest tour in the history of the Crown.
What Elizabeth II thought of Meghan Markle
According to Gyles Brandreth, the biographer on the life of Elizabeth II, the monarch had only one concern and that was that Harry fell too much in love with Meghan Markle, his current wife. But he also assures me that I never speak ill of her, on the contrary. The queen would do everything possible to make her future niece feel comfortable, welcome in the family, which she apparently failed to do. All of these claims are causing quite a stir around the Crown because they know that coming from such a close source, they are most likely indeed true.
