It could be said that Lady Diana was present at Charles III’s first speech as king. On Friday night, the day after Queen Elizabeth II died, her son and her successor delivered his first speech in his new role as sovereign. He paid tribute to his mother, had a word for his son Harry and his daughter-in-law Meghan… and discreetly greeted the memory of Diana Spencer, the mother of Princes William and Harry, who died at the age of 36 in 1997 shortly after their divorce . .
This is a Shakespeare quote from the play Villagedelivered at the end of the speech, which caught the attention of observers: “May flights of angels sing to you until your rest” (“may swarms of angels rock you with their songs”, in the French translation), blew up King Charles his “beloved mother”.
Specialists recall that this quote is not unknown to the royal family: on September 6, 1997, at the end of Lady Diana’s funeral at Westminster Abbey, the choir sang the song Song for Athens by the English composer John Tavener. as you remember daily mailthe text of the song signed by the nun Mother Thekla borrowed precisely this same quote from Village. The words pronounced on Friday by Carlos III sound like a subtle tribute.
actual trauma
Charles’s ill-fated marriage to Lady Diana made British tabloid headlines in the early 1990s. The tabloid press reveled in the prince’s affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles, his current wife, who became queen consort after of the death of Elizabeth II, and that of the Princess of Wales with the riding instructor James Hewitt.
Public opinion had immediately sided with the Princess of Wales, who was highly regarded by the British people, particularly for her humanitarian commitments. Her sudden death in a car accident on August 31, 1997 in Paris made him an icon, and Prince Charles’s reputation suffered even more.
