Sharon Osbourne has revealed what the King did after her husband died
King Charles penned a letter to Ozzy Osbourne’s family following his passing. The Black Sabbath legend died in July aged 76 and his wife Sharon found solace in the thoughtful message she and the Paranoid star’s children received from the “remarkable” and compassionate monarch.
During the Osbournes podcast, the couple’s son Jack Osbourne revealed: “We got a lovely letter from the king.”
Sharon said: “Our King is an amazing person. He is an amazing person, not just because he wrote to us when Ozzy passed, but if he did it for us, know he does it for many, many, many people.
“Here’s a man that does know what’s going on in the street with people. Not just politics, not just you know, here’s a man that cares about the environment, animals,” she continued. “He cares about many, many, many things.”
The 73-year-old family head disclosed that Charles had previously contacted the family back in 2003, while still Prince of Wales, following Ozzy’s severe injuries from a quad bike crash.
She stated: “He’s got a good heart. He didn’t have to do certain things that he’s done for Ozzy.
“He is a good, caring man with a good heart. We respect him, we respect his family.
“And he, again, took the time out of his day to write us, have it hand-delivered to us, a note from the King for Ozzy’s passing with his condolences, and that says so much.”
The monarch wasn’t the only prominent person to contact the family following Ozzy’s passing, as Sharon, Jack and his daughter Kelly Osbourne also revealed a voicemail they’d received from US President Donald Trump.
The president stated in the recording: “Hi, Sharon, it’s Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you the best.
“Ozzy was amazing. He was an amazing guy. I met him a few times, and I want to tell you he was unique in every way and talented. So I just wanted to wish you the best, and it’s a tough thing. I know how close you were, and whatever I can do. Take care of yourself. Say hello to the family.”
Jack remarked after the recording was aired: “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail.”
Sharon – who finished third on Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice programme in 2010 – commended the president and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump.
She said: “All I know is a man that I know, I worked with for a month. I spent one month with him and his wife, who was always gracious, elegant, just a delight to talk to, his wife.
“And he was always, ‘How are the children? How’s Kelly? I’m so proud of Kelly and Jack for what they’ve done and their manners are great’. And he was just a great guy to talk to and he has always treated me with respect.”
Sharon acknowledged that praising Trump would prove controversial.
She said: “Listen, I’m not American. I can’t vote. I don’t want to vote. I don’t vote for anyone. I vote for no one. Never have, never will.
“But the thing is, all I know is he’s treated me with respect, your father with respect. He wanted nothing from us. Nothing. Melania – the same. Nothing. And they have been great.”
