The Queen was one of the few things tying together the last 4-5 generations

I don't think that can be overstated. Her long reign has made her feel like a constant. It's not just the last 4-5 generations, it's the last 4-5 generations of the entire Anglosphere.

She had the good fortune of becoming Queen when she was young and beautiful, at a time when, while the British Empire was already crumbling, the overall Anglosphere was arguably at its absolute zenith of power over the rest of the world. On top of that, she miraculously lived an entire lifetime free of any major scandal or controversy.

Charles approaches the throne as an old husk with a history of opening his mouth on matters that nobody wants his opinion on, who cheated on a publicly beloved wife, who then died young and tragically.
