Will you post the entire clip or just this little snippet designed to make him look bad?

I can't find where this clip came from but I found another of the signing and he gets his aide to shoe away the things on the table


I guess it's an image thing though having to move something yourself instead of getting your servants to do it, doesn't look Kingly even though most in the modern age couldn't care less

They just needed a bigger table. I expect a few nerves involved as well.

Watches clip and leaves disappointed, the difference between shoe and shoo apparently misunderstood :) Now a lackey booting stuff off the table with the King looking chuffed would be quite entertaining!

Wonder why Sandringham has barely got any mention. There's been no TV footage of it whatsoever. Did she not go there that much?

Balmoral and Sandringham were owned directly by the Queen and will feature in her will. All other residences are owned by the state. I am not sure why Sandringham is not mentioned very much. Remoteness or fewer visitors?

The guys mother has just died. Give him a break. It's a horrendous time for anyone, let alone someone like Charles who won't have had chance to greive yet.

I just don’t get how closing down forums where people could post messages of condolence, shutting off multiple tv channels that could show highlights of the Queen (thank goodness for streaming services) and postponing all sport, particularly childrens leagues that I really don’t think the Queen would be in support of and adult games where people could mark their respect, actually achieves anything or does anything for her memory.

We sang the national anthem in a church service yesterday, very strange singing ‘king’ now!

Know I love the Queen. If I was at home when she died, I wouldn’t watch the news as it’s repeated to death. Probably watch the rest of The Crown.

Given that he pulls his own pen out of his pocket to do the signing, I imagine he'd already told people he didn't need all the ornamental crap on the table.
Given that he's a man dealing with the stress and loss of his mother and his queen, and the fact that he's now got to be king, I think he's allowed to get a little ****** at staff who haven't done their job properly.
 
Funeral has been confirmed on Monday 19th and a bank holiday.

Nothing mentioned about shops etc closed.

I am scheduled to return that day. I won’t be happy if I am forced to work during the funeral. Those colleagues who worked in 1997 said on Diana’s funeral, they opened about 1pm.

It would be so wrong if the shops stay open during the funeral of the world’s longest reigning female monarch when shops closed for Diana’s funeral when she was not a member of the Royal Family then. As her divorce from Charles happened a year before.

The only customers will be anti royalists which will upset me
