Well, it's official. Charles signed the Proclamation and delivered another admirable speech. King Charles III will reign.

All the associated activities today have seemed lovely, and well orchestrated, while carrying out official details and still celebrating the Queen's life and service.

However, I wasn't happy with Charles' angry episode for his official signature, gruffly directing his aide to assist in clearing the table. He looked quite angry, which seemed uncalled for. If you get this angry with an aide on camera, what happens privately? Perhaps, it's just an indication of how tired and stressed he may be, but we'll see.

Enjoyed seeing Will and Harry doing the walk-around greeting citizens with their wives. It's reported William invited Harry and Meghan to walk with them. It's a start. I hope that they can work out difficulties.

These brothers need one another. They have a shared history of deep value that should be preserved.
I wonder if that's what I saw on our local news this morning.

He clumsily hit the lid to his ink pot or whatever and then looked to the side and gnashed his teeth, wonder if he growled, too? There was no audio. Thank goodness.

I saw that too and thought it a little uncalled for. Made him look rather arrogant IMO.

I didn't see anger, but he definitely appeared to be a little testy.

All things considered, not a major faux pas (in my view.)

@Johnnyeager The look on his face would have had me running, Lol. It was intense, but he IS going through a lot right now. I just hope it's not an indication of his general temperament.

I personally loathe seeing staff treated badly. Even if they deserve reprimands, just smile, carry on, and take it private later.

I thought it completely unnecessary to show that outtake clip, You could see the table was too small for the size of the documents he had to sign which were two. William and Camilla only needed to sign one. He was and is under tremendous pressure to undertake duties he is unfamiliar with as well as preparing for the funeral and viewing of the Queen and mourning the death of his mother in an extremely short period of time, Just exhaustion alone is enough. So easy to judge since we do not have to deal with the same as he when our mothers passed away.

He has my sincerest sympathy and kindness for what he is now dealing with.

He's been raised his entire life to have everything and anything ready when he wanted, the way he wanted...cutting him a little slack for a few weeks.

Tremendous pressure? Please! He's lived in luxury and had everything done for him his whole life. There are people starving and dealing with their own losses. Why does he deserve more sympathy?

@KKJ

ITA .... Years ago I read that Charles has a valet that folds his toilet paper for him ... so that he doesn't have to. Any sympathy I had for his "pressures" went out the window with that revelation.

Isn't the heir automatically POW? I don't think he has to be appointed or named to assume that slot.
@Sooner
I had the impression yesterday that this was all automatic as well, but I did not want to mention in case I was incorrect. Some take such pleasure in correcting people for minor errors.

Shoekitty said. It is just a formality as I see it. Sort of like here in a way. We elect a president. But he isn't officially President till he takes oath of office. But we aren't done yet with the Pomp. Lol. Then they have the crowning.

And of course you believe everything you read. I'm thinking you have to actually be in the royal bathroom to see how the royal toilet paper are folded, and I doubt you were there lol.

I miss it but I am sure it will be on again. I feel that the Queen was the glue that kept that family going. So dedicated and kept going in her older years, actually quite remarkable. I believe Charles will do a good job. He has big shoes to fill.

kindness is strength

@chlema

LOL .... Oh, no, it's very well documented. Not only is the toilet paper thing documented, but he insists his shoelaces be ironed and someone has to squeeze his toothpaste for him. And some other peculiar habits.

Google is your friend.

But, if you want to emulate him .... you can always order the same toilet paper he uses on Amazon. LOL
