Prince Charles Could Finally Put A Royal Mystery To Rest After Taking The Throne
Experts long expected that when Prince Charles took over from his mother, a lot of things would change. It'd be Charles' face on British money, of course, and there would also be the chance he ended up calling himself by a different name. But that's not all. With that shift in power, Charles has the opportunity to make one big decision regarding a longstanding royal enigma. And if he does, he could bring a centuries-old mystery to rest — and reveal a secret truth behind the British throne.
Butting heads
Charles is not one to blindly follow tradition, after all. And while his mother, the Queen, was known for keeping her opinions to herself, her eldest son hasn't been shy about revealing his. It may all lead to him letting the truth slip.
Man of the people
Charles' beliefs can be controversial, too. Apparently, he believes that the monarchy should be pared back and that royal expenses should be paid for privately — not out of public coffers. He's also lobbied against genetically modified foods and called for climate change action. There's reason to believe Charles may act on other tough topics.
Opening things up
And if that isn't enough, Charles is also supposedly in favor of turning Buckingham Palace into an accessible space for the public. Given all these proposed shake-ups, it wouldn't be surprising if he chose to investigate a long-unsolved cold case.
Suspicious urn
And we're talking cold — centuries-old cold. In the bowels of Westminster Abbey — the royal church that's stood in London since the 1200s — there's an urn that contains human bones. It's long been suspected that those remains belong to two murdered princes.
