He further noted that while there might have been an urge for the now-King Charles to travel that evening, it would have triggered too many alarm bells.

Robert explained that people would have grown suspicious as to why so many engagements had been cancelled. He continued: “It was really interesting talking to a lot of the team around him [King Charles] and around the Queen was this sense of well if he comes it is that sending out signals because first of all he’s got to cancel a load of engagements and very soon it’ll be known he’s here, that sets all sorts of bells going.
