Glenconner revealed that Charles is “very happy being King. I think he’ll be a marvelous King… he’s very sympathetic to people.”
King Charles may have got off to a bumpy start as the reigning monarch, what with the ongoing Megxit scandal and a mixed reaction from his new subjects.Appearing at the 92nd Street Y this week, Lady Anne Glenconner, longtime confident of the late Princess Margaret, said she caught up with King Charles on New Year’s Day and that he gave the gig the royal thumbs up.She added, “I think he’ll be a marvelous king… he’s very sympathetic to people.
While promoting her new book “Whatever Next: Lessons from an Unexpected Life” Glenconner also she’d told him that she’d like an invitation to his coronation in May. If Glenconner, age 90, does get the invitation, she will be the rare person to have attended Queen Elizabeth’s coronation back in 1953 — when she served as a maid of honor — as well as the new king’s.
The socialite-turned-author, who served as Princess Margaret’s Extra Lady-in-Waiting from the 1971 to her death in 2002, also commented on the hit TV show the “Crown,” which portrays the royal family.“Claire Foy was brilliant as the Queen, she was the best queen,” Glenconner said, comparing her to actresses including Olivia Coleman who have portray Elizabeth II at various point in her long life.
“I sort of hinted at the domestic abuse in the first book but I felt I really had to talk about it in this book properly,” she told The Daily Beast.
