The monarch adds that he can imagine the “agony” he was going through and ‘longed to wave a magic wand to transform the situation’. Charles, now 75, then touches on the “bewilderment and confusion that accompanies the removal of someone so young from the world”. The King elaborates on his Christian faith and his beliefs on what happens when someone dies, quoting a Bible passage that states “now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face”.

Just yesterday, Express.co.uk revealed how an American collector couldn’t believe his luck when he got his hands on rare footage of King Charles’s christening after purchasing a mysterious brown envelope from a charity shop. Ronald Baxter Jr, 59, was intrigued when he spotted the unmarked envelope on sale for just $8 (£6.20) in a thrift shop in South Carolina. Curious to know what was inside, he bought it and opened it at home. To his amazement, he discovered a film from the King’s christening on December 15, 1948.
