King Charles explains why Queen Elizabeth II chose to spend her last days at Balmoral.
King Charles, the current reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, recently shared a personal revelation about his beloved mother, Queen Elizabeth II. In a speech commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Scottish parliament, Charles opened up about the Queen's decision to spend her final days at their family's castle in Scotland, known as Balmoral.

During his speech, Charles expressed the deep affection his family holds for Scotland, referring to it as a "uniquely special place in the hearts" of his family. He then revealed that it was his late mother's own love for Balmoral that led her to choose it as the place where she would spend her final moments. The Queen, who traditionally spent her summers at Balmoral, passed away at the age of 96 on September 8th, 2022.

In addition to sharing this personal detail about his mother, Charles also spoke about her involvement in Scotland's political landscape. He mentioned her advice to the people of Scotland to carefully consider their future before the 2014 referendum on independence. Charles's sister, Princess Anne, also spoke about their mother's concerns about the logistics of dying in Scotland, as opposed to London or Windsor. However, she emphasized that this should not have been a deciding factor and hoped that the Queen ultimately felt at peace with her choice.

Accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla, Charles delivered his speech at Holyrood, where he reflected on the enduring values of Scotland and their importance in today's world. He also mentioned the mace that the late Queen had presented to the Scottish parliament 25 years ago, which was engraved with the values of wisdom, justice, compassion, and integrity. Charles noted that while much has changed in the world since then, these values have remained constant and are crucial in today's polarized and divided society.

However, amidst these heartwarming revelations, Charles also shared some personal health news. At 75 years old, he is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, which was discovered while he was being treated for an enlarged prostate. He will remain at his home on the Balmoral estate, Birkhall, until Wednesday when he will return to London for his weekly treatment. Additionally, his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has also been undergoing treatment for cancer since March.

As the King continues to receive treatment, he remains committed to his duties and responsibilities as the monarch of the United Kingdom. His love for Scotland and his family's connection to Balmoral serve as a reminder of the importance of family, tradition, and enduring values in today's ever-changing world.
