Queen Elizabeth ‘Strange Woman,’ More Comfortable With Animals Than With Prince Charles

Queen Elizabeth II is a strange woman according to a royal expert.

Seventy years ago, the monarch welcomed her firstborn Prince Charles. However, according to royal biographer Jonathan Dimbleby, Her Majesty was a “detached” mother to the Prince of Wales.

In a Youtube documentary titled “Charles, Prince of Wales: A Life Full of Madness,” royal biographer Penny Junor shared her thoughts about Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles’ relationship.

According to Junor, the Queen is a “strange woman” and she is not “enormously tactile.” When the heir was just a baby, she would bathe him and sit him on her knee and read him stories.

“But… I think there’s very little evidence as he grew older that she kept that up,” Junor said.

“She’s really a woman, who I think is much more comfortable with animals.”

Prince Charles grew up at the care of the household staff which convinced many that the mother and son didn’t really have a strong bond. When Prince Charles and Princess Anne were still babies, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh would embark on a six-month Commonwealth tour without them, but Robert Lacey believed Queen Elizabeth II only did it because she finds it better to have her children under the care of their nannies than drag them around the world. It was the way Queen Elizabeth II’s parents brought her up.

Previous reports claim that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles didn’t have a warm and cozy relationship as a mother and son. In Netflix’s documentary “The Royal House of Windsor,” Junor said that for most of the Prince of Wales’ life, his mom was on a pedestal due to her royal duties so they didn’t have enough time together.

Although Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t a hands-on mom, Junor said that she only did her obligations as the monarch. Prince Charles didn’t have a close bond with his father Prince Philip, either.

The Prince of Wales grew up closer to his grandmother Queen Mother. It came to a point when Queen Mother and Prince Philip had an argument because she didn’t like his decision of sending the sensitive heir to Gordonstoun school. However, in the end, the Duke of Edinburgh’s decision prevailed.

Prince Charles was heartbroken following Queen Mother’s death. The future king said that he “dreaded” that moment and said that he would miss her laughs.
