King Charles has shown compassion towards his mother, Queen Elizabeth II's trusted aide, Angela Kelly, ensuring she isn't left homeless after the Queen's passing. Kelly, the Queen's close confidante, and caregiver, had lived in a grace-and-favour home for two decades. After the Queen's death, negotiations were made, and King Charles bought her a home near Sheffield to be close to her grandchildren. Despite not wanting to live next door to her, he didn't want her to be homeless.

Rumors suggest that the monarch asked Kelly to sign a non-disclosure agreement, ensuring no further secrets about the royal family would be revealed. In return, Charles purchased a new home for Kelly in Yorkshire, England, which will eventually return to the Crown upon her passing.
