“Prince Philip and I have been saddened to hear of the terror attacks at London Bridge. We send our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost love ones and who have been affected by yesterday’s terrible violence. I express my enduring thanks to the police and emergency services, as well as the brave individuals who put their own lives at risk to selflessly help and protect others. Elizabeth R.”
Police have identified the attacker as 28-year-old Usman Khan who was previously imprisoned over a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange.
Eye witness accounts reveal bystanders worked together to restrain him before he was shot dead by police.
“A guy who was with us at Fishmongers’ Hall took a five-foot narwhal tusk from the wall and went out to confront the attacker. We were trying to help victims inside but that man’s a hero.” said witness Amy Coop.
Meanwhile, Her Majesty is reportedly seriously considering stepping down from her royal duties when she turns 95 in two years.
And now, it has been revealed that Prince Charles is also gearing up to take over the reins as head of the monarchy when Her Majesty eventually calls it a day.
With Charles and his son, Wills, both stepping up to support the Queen in recent times, experts are now suggesting she may cut back on her royal duties earlier than expected.
As reported in Express, Daily Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers told Today it had been suggested to him that Prince Charles is preparing to become a “shadow king”.
“I think we will definitely see a stepping back – I don’t think we’ll see a massive handover. It will be a very, very subtle process,” Russell said.
“We won’t see a sudden coronation, if you will, of King Charles. Certainly, her taking more of a back seat, the patronages are already being passed over.”
