The first picture in the post was a message that read, “Life is precious. Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light.”

In the comment section of West’s post, several fans criticized West for not condemning the late Queen.

On September 8th, Buckingham Palace announced that there were serious concerns about Queen Elizabeth’s health.

It’s expected that he’ll be officially proclaimed the new King at St James’s Palace in London on Saturday.
