King Charles Pens Heartfelt Letter to Osbourne Family After Ozzy's Death

Just a few months ago, in July 2022, the world mourned the loss of legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at the age of 76. In the aftermath, his family—wife Sharon, and children Kelly and Jack—have been reflecting on their grief and the outpouring of support they've received from fans around the globe.

One particularly touching gesture came from an unexpected source: King Charles III. According to the Osbournes, the new monarch took the time to pen a personal letter of condolence, which was hand-delivered to the family. Sharon Osbourne was effusive in her praise for the King, describing him as "an amazing person" who genuinely cares about the common people, the environment, and animals—not just politics.

The Osbournes have long been "royalists" who respect the King and his family. Sharon recalled that Charles had previously reached out to the family in 2003 when Ozzy was hospitalized after a motorbike accident. "He's got a good heart," she said. "He didn't have to do certain things that he's done for Ozzy."

The Osbournes' grief has been compounded by the outpouring of love and support they've received from Ozzy's legions of fans. On the day of his funeral in Birmingham, England, crowds chanted his name and threw flowers as the hearse carrying his casket passed by. Even the Band of the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace paid tribute, performing the Black Sabbath classic "Paranoid" during the Changing of the Guard ceremony.

Ozzy Osbourne's legacy as the "Prince of Darkness" and a true rock icon will undoubtedly live on, with the Osbourne family taking solace in the knowledge that he was respected and beloved by fans and royalty alike.
