Holding back her tears, Sharon told Morgan on Uncensored, "His Majesty sent me a letter the next day… King Charles [had it] hand delivered... [It said] just how sorry he was." Discussing her late husband's close bond with the King, she gushed, "He [Charles] knew Ozzy. He knew we had met him several times, and he's always been so gracious with Ozzy, and they would always laugh together… He got Ozzy. He got him…" It seems Charles wasn't the only head of state to express his condolences, as Sharon also revealed that Donald Trump had left her family a voicemail, praising Ozzy as a 'unique' character.
The grieving widow expressed her gratitude to both Trump and Charles for taking the time to comfort her, despite their busy schedules. "When you look at King Charles, and you look at Donald Trump, whatever anybody might think about them, it's their business, but their days, you know, how full their day is? I mean, insanity, and that they had the time and the graciousness to do that for us."
She also recalled that her husband's last words to her were 'Kiss me, hug me tight.' She added of his final moments, "I ran downstairs, and there he [Ozzy] was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I'm like, 'Don't – just leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone.'"
A week after Ozzy's death, Charles paid tribute to his profound legacy with an emotional gesture at his funeral service. According to PEOPLE, the King's Band of the Coldstream Guards performed the Black Sabbath song Paranoid during the Changing of the Guard ceremony. The guards honored the late singer on the day of his funeral procession in Birmingham, where large crowds lined the street to mourn his death.
The Changing of the Guard is a royal tradition where the soldiers who have completed their watch are relieved by the next group on duty. The 'Old Guard' and the 'New Guard' formally switch positions, accompanied by marching and music played by a military band.
Three years before his death, following Charles's ascension to the throne, Ozzy had gushed about the King and revealed that they had bonded over their shared love for scotch. He told the New York Post, "He's [Charles] a very, very nice man. He's always treated me with the utmost respect. In fact, when I had my bike accident [in 2003], he sent me a bottle of scotch… I wish him all the best."
