I’ve just seen a picture of the King Sweltering in a suit and tie yesterday. Surely, in this day and age nobody would object to him at least taking his jacket off.
William is always a lot more informal.

Yes I agree but more so the poor people in all of our armed forces.

Even if it’s not linen (and god forbid he should turn out looking like Monty b****y Don), he will probably be wearing very lightweight pure wool suit which is cool in Summer and will not crease.

What a nasty comment!

i saw that photo and wondered while admiring the waistcoat. a later video showed that king Charles was wearing, as he always does when in Scotland, full highland dress which I am sure is fairly cool especially in a presumably air conditioned building.
he looked as smart as he always does.

Nasty comment re Monty Don. He's very elegant.

Why should they? We live in a free country where we can like and dislike what we want , when we want and how we want. Are you saying we shouldn't have that right? That people who don't bow and scrape shouldn't be allowed to live here?

Rude

You can be anti-royal but still like living in the UK. They are not mutually exclusive states.

Are you suggesting a totalitarian state where you get kicked out if you don't like the status quo?

Oh yes somebody would.
Since some people object to their very existence, taking a jacket off because of his age and the heat, would be the ultimate crime.
