Hear, hear!
I find myself growing increasingly fond of him.
Yesterday’s Garden Party was for those in education and skills for young people, a special interest of his.
D and SIL were there because she has been doing voluntary work for the King’s Trust (formerly Prince’s Trust) for some years and is involved in mentoring and its organisation.
A lovely way to thank people.

When I think back to all the negative comments about Charles, even from his own father, and doubts about his suitability as heir to the throne I think it’s a shame he had to wait so long for his chance to show what a good king he was going to become.

Obviously I didn’t want the Queen to die before her time and abdication was never on the cards so I hope he still has a good few years ahead of him.

I had not spotted that, but like these touches he brings, it shows a sense of humour as well as occasion!
Apparently it was a glorious day yesterday. ☀️☀️☀️

The Queen looked incredibly elegant. Something in the way she carries herself makes me think of Queen Mary.

Very apt, it is the annual Submariners' Remembrance Days yesterday and today.

Just saw the King’s tie that he wore today and it really made me smile.

It was a blue tie with submarines on . Not dour black ones but childish ones in blue. It was sweet and cute and fun.

It’s so nice to see him happy and cheerful.

That’s it really, nothing important but it cheered me up on a glum day.
