“I was very lucky to have her as a mother,” King Charles said in a tribute to his late mother aired on the BBC.Princess Anne referenced the unique relationship she had with the Queen. “It was a very special relationship, and apart from my three brothers… we’re the only people who have that relationship, so that’s how I will remember her.
