As the anniversary of her death approaches, royal expert Hugo Vickers says the late Queen Elizabeth II wanted to prepare a young Prince William for his role as future King and, over time, formed a close relationship with her grandson. "I think the Queen prepared him a lot," he exclusively told OK! .

For the late Queen, one of the greatest pleasures in life was spending quality time with her extended family. From carefree summers at Balmoral to festive get-togethers at Sandringham, she was never happier than when surrounded by her adoring grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

For almost a century, Balmoral Castle held a special place in the heart of Queen Elizabeth ll. From childhood, she would spend several weeks at the grand turreted property in Royal Deeside, surrounded by close family.The Scottish Highland estate was the place where the late monarch felt happiest and most at peace and many observers felt it fitting that she died there, peacefully, last September. But for King Charles, Queen Camilla and the rest of Elizabeth ll’s family, returning to Aberdeenshire this summer is likely to have been tinged with sadness.

King Charles has been getting assistance from the Queen Consort with restructuring the Royal Family in the hopes of getting “value for money," according to reports.

Queen Elizabeth is making a permanent move, according to a new report.

Queen Elizabeth II will mark 70 years on the throne Sunday, an unprecedented reign that has made her a symbol of stability as the United Kingdom navigated an age of uncertainty.From her early days as a glamorous young royal in glittering tiaras to her more recent incarnation as the nation’s grandmother, the queen has witnessed the end of the British Empire, the advent of multiculturalism, the rise of international terrorism, and the challenges posed by Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. In a world of relentless change, she has been a constant — representing the U.K.’s interests abroad, applauding the nation’s successes and commiserating in its failures, and always remaining above the fray of politics.That constancy should earn Elizabeth a royal epithet like those of her predecessors such as William the Conqueror, Edward the Confessor and Alfred the Great, said royal historian Hugo Vickers.“I’ve always thought she should be called Elizabeth the Steadfast," Vickers told The Associated Press.

Prince Charles is reportedly “dreading” the day he’ll become King, as it will be the result of his mother, 95 year old Queen Elizabeth II, having passed away. Charles, 73, is the eldest of the Queen’s children, and has therefore long been the heir to the throne. While the Prince of Wales has been training for the role for years, he’s still “dreading” the day he becomes King according to Royal biographer Penny Junor, as he's “terrified” at the prospect of the Queen dying.

While they might be a family, the Queen doesn’t let that stand in the way of sticking to Royal protocol. Prince Harry may have tried to occasionally convince his grandmother to bend the rules, the HRH always stands her ground. From coveted Palace living quarters to borrowing Royal jewels, the couple has put in appeals for all sorts during their time as working royals and also since then.This week he complained that he and his wife Meghan Markle, 40, and their two children wouldn’t be able to visit the UK without state security, with some royal experts guessing the move hasn’t impressed HRH.

While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle currently live in a sprawling California mansion with their two children, they didn't always have the home of their dreams. At the beginning of their relationship, Meghan, 40, moved into her other half's small two-bedroom cottage at Kensington Palace – not too far away from Harry's brother Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton's home. Following their wedding on 19 May 2018, it's been reported the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted a bigger space to start their family.

The Queen once rejected a request by Harry and Meghan to live at Windsor Castle.
