King Charles went foraging for mushrooms in the woods as his mother Queen Elizabeth’s life “ebbed away,” according to a new book by royal biographer Robert Jobson.
, Jobson writes that Charles was first alerted to his mother’s deteriorating health on September 7, the night before she died. The next morning he flew by helicopter from his Birkhall estate to Balmoral. Charles sat at her bedside with Princess Anne, then—with “no immediate reason for alarm”—returned to Birkhall for a walk in the woods.
Jobson writes, “As the queen’s life ebbed away, her heir was foraging for mushrooms. More importantly, he was drawing solace and strength from the trees, the smell of the earth and the murmur of the River Muick. Understandably lost in thought, the prince knew that the defining moment of his life, at the advanced age of 73, was fast approaching: the death of his mother and his accession as King.
