Sharon Osbourne has revealed a deeply personal gesture from King Charles III that provided comfort to her family following the tragic death of her husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
A Royal Comfort in Time of Grief
The Osbourne family received numerous tributes after Ozzy Osbourne's sudden passing in July 2025, but one stood out as particularly meaningful. King Charles III sent a hand-delivered letter to the grieving family, demonstrating his personal connection to the heavy metal icon.
Speaking on the first episode of The Osbournes podcast since Ozzy's death, Sharon and her children Kelly and Jack reflected on the overwhelming support they've received from fans worldwide. It was Jack who initially revealed they had received a lovely letter from the King, prompting his mother to praise the monarch's compassionate nature.
"Our King is an amazing person," Sharon expressed emotionally. "He's not just a man of politics — he cares about people, the environment, and animals. He's got a good heart."
Long-Standing Royal Connection
This wasn't the first time King Charles had reached out to the Osbourne family. Sharon explained that Ozzy had always been a royalist and maintained mutual respect with the royal family over many years.
"Ozzy and I have always been royalists," Sharon confirmed. "We respect him and his family. For the King to take time out of his day to write to us says so much."
The connection between the Osbournes and the monarchy dates back decades. In 2002, Ozzy performed a memorable duet with daughter Kelly at the Party at the Palace for Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee. Four years later, he met then-Prince Charles at a reception for The Prince's Trust in 2006.
Following Queen Elizabeth's death, Ozzy spoke warmly of the new monarch, describing him as "a very, very nice man" who had "always treated me with the utmost respect."
Musical Tributes and Final Farewells
The royal tribute extended beyond personal correspondence. In the same week the Osbournes received King Charles' letter, the Band of the Coldstream Guards performed Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' during the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
This powerful musical nod to the late rock legend was captured in videos that spread widely across social media platforms, demonstrating the breadth of Ozzy's cultural impact.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary "Prince of Darkness" and Black Sabbath frontman, died suddenly on July 22, 2025, at age 76. The musician suffered a fatal heart attack after years battling serious health issues, including Parkinson's disease and complications from multiple surgeries.
His funeral procession took place on July 30, 2025, in his hometown of Birmingham, where family, celebrity friends, and devoted fans gathered to pay their final respects to the heavy metal icon.
During the emotional podcast episode, Kelly Osbourne broke down while discussing her father's final days, expressing that she "just wanted more time" with him. Sharon comforted her daughter with poignant words that reflected Ozzy's own philosophy: "You can't buy time. Ozzy used to say that all the time. Time is precious — don't waste it."
