Without trying to be mean, I'm less charitable. He's had a lifetime to prepare and the resources of money, power, staff and literally an entire nation to support him in his time of transition. I have deep compassion for him for the loss of his mother. I have zero compassion in terms of the position he finds himself in. With the support he has, he could run his life on auto-pilot. By comparison, I'm more impressed by the average Joe or Jane in the street holding down their lives (often alone) while coping with that loss. And I'm damned sure that a leaky pen wouldn't be their breaking point.
