EXCLUSIVE: This year, King Charles and his family will no doubt have found many of the “firsts” - special occasions and key dates - since The Queen’s passing painful to cope with
Whenever a loved one passes away, "firsts" – such as birthdays, Christmas and other significant anniversaries – take on an acute resonance, triggering a multitude of emotions as thoughts turn to that friend or family member who’s no longer there.
“The Queen was such a big part of so many of the royal family’s lives – and of our lives – it’s impossible not to think back on these occasions,” says royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.“Because of who she was, she’d naturally be the dominant figure and in that sense, now she’s no longer there, of course there’s going to be a gap.”
This year, the King – resplendent in the full ceremonial uniform of the Welsh Guards – made his first official Trooping The Colour as sovereign very much his own, while riding on horseback. And while he’s no doubt missing his mother’s presence at key events in the royal calendar, Charles is likely growing accustomed to being centre of attention at such grand occasions.
Last November, proving that the late monarch was very much still in their thoughts, the official Royal Family Twitter account shared photographs of King Charles’s ancestors, King George V, King George VI, and, of course, Queen Elizabeth II all laying Remembrance Day wreaths.
