The call came just before the world learned of the monarch's health
King Charles III discovered his mother was dying during a frantic phone call at Dumfries House, after which 'everything went silent', according to a royal correspondent. It is understood the Queen Consort, Camilla, was about to be interviewed by former US President George Bush's daughter.
Newsweek’s Chief Royal Correspondent Jack Royston told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: “Charles and Camilla were in Dumfries House. Camilla was actually about to record an interview with Jenna Bush Hager, who said she heard footsteps running in the hallway.“Charles took a call, everything was silent, and they were asked to be silent. Then the next thing she knew, Charles and Camilla were in a helicopter. And that was at 12.
Mr Royston added: “I see in Charles a bit of George V - the sort of avuncular, fatherly figure of the nation. And it’s benefited him, his older years.” “I think it was generous and it was right for him to stretch out an invitation to Harry [to join him and Kate on the Windsor walkabout].”
