Marking yourself out on film is something that King Charles has been able to hone over a long period of time, in particular respect of looking at his late mother and how she presented herself and portrayed her reign on television and in photographs.
It’s been clear from the start that His Majesty has wanted to put himself front and centre. It’s so that people remember that he says things for their benefit, not just so that he’s heard and known to have spoken about a matter.
In our time, finally settling on somebody to say things authoritatively has become a preoccupation of many people online. It’s not always the right choice and sometimes there are consequences. However, the King himself has shown great responsibility in regard to this effort himself.
He isn’t known as being argumentative and if he says something off the cuff in public it’s usually said in good humour and kept to the point. His latest filming effort with Amazon Prime is a good example of this approach and it continues to bolster his respect worldwide.
