King Charles only found out about his mother's deteriorating health hours before the public when he heard 'footsteps running in the corridor' at Dumfries House, a royal editor has claimed.

Senior royals dashed to be at the Queen's bedside last Thursday amid the news her health was ailing, with sources previously saying it was only Charles and Princess Anne who were able to make it to the royal estate before her death.

Now Newsweek's Chief Royal Correspondent Jack Royston has revealed how the King heard the news while at his Scottish home of Dumfries House with his wife Camilla.

My dear friend died a few years ago - much too soon. She was at home with her husband and two adult children, and they went out for some fresh air for ten minutes. Evidently she asked her husband if they were there, and when he said they had gone out, she died within minutes. A nursing friend said this often happens; something makes us not want our loved ones to see our final breath.
