LIZ JONES: Charles, we need you to be OK so that we're OK. We're not ready for William yet ...

Daily Mail  

‘As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation … I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.’ That was Charles’s first televised address since becoming King upon the death of his ‘dear Mama’. Charles’s grandfather, George VI, was a chain smoker and died way too soon, tipping Princess Elizabeth into service before she was quite ready to abandon her carefree family life. Liz Jones says none of us is quite ready for William, pictured with Kate, Harry and Meghan Charles’s grandfather, George VI, was a chain smoker and died way too soon, says Liz Jones, tipping Princess Elizabeth into service before she was quite ready to abandon family life How sad for him but even then, he had to wear a shirt and tie, lift his arm and wave. I wager the first thing he said to William was: ‘I’m terribly sorry, dear boy …’ I think of my own dad, still so handsome and active, who once slayed Nazis, struck down by cancer aged 80, and the only thing he whispered to my mum was: ‘Tell the little girls I’m so sorry.’ No offence, but none of us is quite ready for William.
