King Charles posts heartbreaking tribute to late Queen to celebrate Mother's Day
King Charles has posted a heartbreaking tribute to the late Queen for Mother's Day.
Shared on the Royal Family's official X account, he wrote alongside a pink flower emoji: "Wishing all Mothers, and those who are missing their Mums today, a peaceful Mothering Sunday." The post includes a black and white photo of the then-Prince of Wales kissing the hand of his 'darling Mama' during a polo match in 1985.
Elizabeth II died aged 96 on September 8 2022 after reigning for 70 years. Oldest son Charles succeeded her and his Coronation was held on May 6 last year. The current monarch, 75, is undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer, following diagnosis in January.
Elizabeth died "peacefully" at Balmoral. All of her children - Charles, as well as Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - rushed to be by her side after doctors became "concerned" for her health. Hours later she died surrounded by her family with Buckingham Palace announcing her passing.
Days after his mum's death, Charles addressed the nation, saying she had pledged to devote her life “to the service of her peoples” on her 21st birthday in 1947. His speech began: "I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow.

"Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen - my beloved Mother - was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example."
Today also marks the 60th birthday of Charles' youngest brother Prince Edward, with the monarch marking the occasion by making him the Duke of Edinburgh the Order of the Thistle - Scotland's highest royal honour.
