Although the funeral of Prince Philip ended peacefully, the burden on several senior royal members was even heavier. In addition to the "reconciliation" with Prince Harry, they also faced problems such as how to allocate funders and military ranks, because there are too many industries and too few people available. For Crown Prince Charles , this is really a lot of pressure. On the one hand, it was the pain of losing his father, and on the other hand, it was too complicated. Therefore, 72-year-old Charles made the third choice - "escape".
According to the " Daily Mail " on April 19 local time, less than a day after his father's funeral, Charles went to the country farmhouse "Llwynywermod" in Wales, , alone, and he wanted to reflect in that quiet place. Although it is a farmhouse, it is very luxurious. It is reported that the farmhouse is worth 1.2 million pounds (about 10 million RMB), and was rebuilt on the basis of the original farmhouse.
According to people familiar with the matter, Charles will "reflect on his own" at the farmhouse, and he also wants to reply to thousands of condolence letters. "He was keenly aware that this was a very important moment in his life, and suddenly felt that he was important." "Although he was the first heir to the throne at a very young age, his father, Prince Philip, has always been the patriarch of the family."
This is the scene when Charles arrived at that farmhouse in 2009. This old man, who is over 70 years old but is still waiting to be a king, has always been obsessed with rural life, especially organic agriculture, and has little ambition for power. This is why the queen does not particularly appreciate him, although he insists on maintaining the royal family and performs his duties conscientiously.
Now that Charles has to shoulder the mission of leading the whole family forward due to his father’s death, he also needs a transition to better adapt to the role. It is still uncertain how long Charles needs to "reflect" on how long, but he is no longer in a hurry to resolve his relationship with his youngest son Harry. After all, "both sides are in great pain", so he must advance extremely slowly.
What made Charles somewhat comforted was that his eldest son William could help with the work, and the burden on William was not light. There were so many responsibilities that needed to be fulfilled, and his younger brother and his wife Kate were unwilling to help. According to Leeds Life, William has begged his cousin Zara Tyndall and his cousin Mike Tyndall to "come out" to help him handle royal affairs in the years to come.
William and Zara have had a good sibling relationship since childhood, and their relationship has continued to the next generation. Prince George and Mia, who is a few months younger than her, will also play together from time to time. It can be said that the relationship between the two families is still good. The difference is that William is the prince and the future king of England. Although Zara is the queen's granddaughter, she does not have any title. This is what her mother, Princess Anne, asks her. She hopes that her children will be more free.
Zhara, 38, is an equestrian athlete, and 42-year-old Mike is a former rugby athlete. Both of them have good results in their respective careers. Although they also participated in royal family activities, they did not perform their duties. William, who was too busy, hoped that they would help, but it is still unknown whether he could get a positive answer. But from the perspective of friendship, it should be no problem. On the other hand, William's two cousins, namely Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie , both expressed their willingness to increase their workload.
And William has another person to use, that is his cousin Peter Phillips . Before his grandfather's funeral, he asked his cousin to stand between him and his younger brother Harry, and Peter did the same. I wonder if this divorced cousin can help his cousin overcome difficulties in the future?
