Talk about a drama King or is it Charles the Curmudgeon?

The Queen is dead

Long live the King.

Nothing else has dominated the news cycle in the last seven days than the news of Her Majesty’s demise.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s derriere getting kicked by little Ukraine has had to play second fiddle to the period of mourning in the United Kingdom.

Now who would have thought?

I have to confess to have stopped watching the news for the last few days as nothing else seems to be happening in the world.

But there’s been a subplot threatening to upstage the everything going on this week.

And what might that be?

King Charles III’s temper tantrums.

Our man who has spent his entire life wanting to be King has only been in the job for five minutes and yet he seems to be unravelling on grand scale.

First was the day that he was proclaimed King.

We saw a footage of our protagonist clenching his teeth in anger at one of the courtiers to remove an object from the table.
