Princess Anne revealed, Queen Elizabeth The second worried that it would be difficult to organize her funeral if she died at Balmoral, but her family convinced her that she had to do what she felt was right, according to a documentary depicting King Charles’ first year as king of Britain.
According to the British Daily Mail website, the film includes behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive interviews with senior officials, the family and senior members of the royal family, and depicts the accelerating pace over the past 12 months.
In a poignant clip, Anne talks about her mother’s death and how she felt when she saw the Imperial Crown removed from the Queen’s coffin for the last time at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. “I felt a weird sense of relief that it was over,” she said, “that responsibility being transferred.”
The Princess Royal, who remained exceptionally close to the late Queen throughout her life, said: “I think there was a moment when she felt it would be more difficult if she died at Balmoral. I think we tried to convince her that that shouldn’t be part of the decision-making process.”
While many considered it appropriate that the Queen died at Balmoral because she loved the Scottish Highlands so much, and shortly before her death in September last year, she was visited by Dr. Ian Greenshields, director of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, who then said that she spoke of how she “gave her a destiny “It is a great peace and pleasure to be at Balmoral.”
The Princess Royal revealed that it was “pure coincidence” that she was at the Queen’s side when she died, and explained that she only stopped at Balmoral Castle on her way back south after spending a few days on the west coast of Scotland.
