The death of Queen Elizabeth II last year marked a tragic end to a remarkable reign.

Now, on the anniversary of her death, King Charles III must balance honoring his mother's legacy while starting his own.

This year's anniversary is bittersweet for the royal family, who are grappling with both grief and hope for the future.

As the King spends time at Balmoral, a place of great significance to the royal family, he is no doubt reflecting on the tremendous legacy his mother left behind.

Although there will be no public events, we can be sure the family is privately paying tribute to her memory.
