Charles III is literally the King of Canada, not just the head of state. Canada has a King.

[franditri]

It’s really weird not to see Queen Elizabeth in the pictures.😢

[robertwhitehouse]

It’s prosecution not persecution! They are very different terms.

[gillianrimmer]

Weirdly, he already has a driving license because he passed his driving test around 50 years ago.

IN MY VIEW
As an American I found this fascinating watching and learning about your new King and his duties. Thank you.

[dwein]

It's Commonwealth Realms plural not singular, he holds all those thrones independently of each other and can lose them without affecting the other like Barbados that was mentioned. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are NOT independent nations, he is King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Note that the first three nations aren’t referred to by name.

In fact under the Succession to the Crown Act only the first six people in the line to the throne need the Sovereign's permission to marry. Also most if not all Royal Prerogatives are eiher done in the Sovereign's name by the Government or on the advice of the government.

[willx]

Barbados has been self governing since 1961 and has celebrated 30 November as its Independence Day since 1966 when it gained full independence.

[Philsta]

His Majesty King Charles III did pass a driving test. He was only a prince then so he needed a license to drive.

[davidreichert]

Also worth noting: in the 14 realms outside of the UK the monarch is represented by a Governor-General (appointed by the monarch on the advice of the relevant PM) who carries out most of the monarch's duties and powers on the monarch's behalf.

As well, the monarch is represented in the government each of the provinces/states/territories of Canada and Australia by a Lieutenant Governor (although they do not hold a specific title as monarch of each prov/state/terr)

[gubjorggisladottir]

2:40 Licence - he has the ones he got while his mother was alive and the monarch...
Does not need is not the same as does not have!

[haraldperryrhoden]

The King has also the power to ask others to take away his pen that is in his way.

[marig]

The King does not govern, he reigns. He is a constitutional monarchy.

[MegaGo]

Do you check your facts? The last time a British sovereign dismissed a prime minister was not in 1834, but in 1975, when the Queen's emissary in Australia dismissed a democratically elected PM by the name of Gough Whitlam. Every Australian knows this because it illustrates the reality of sovereign "reserve" powers.

[ronanlewis]

If the only person who can drive without a licence is the King, or presumably a Queen as well, then chances are he has a driving licence from when he passed as the prince.

[LL-ljkq]

I completely agree. Queen Elizabeth was such a multi representation of war hero and grandmother also highly respected woman of dignity and honor.

[erica.]

The PM is CUSTOMARILY the leader of the most voted party. It is not required

[raelimperialak]

Narrator used the wrong word several times. It should be “prosecute”, not “persecute”.

[adamchowdhury]

The Monarch can choose anyone from the winning party to become Prime Minister, it does not have to be the leader of that party. However the Monarch as a general rule has appointed the leader of the winning party to be Prime Minister, but as mentioned it does not have to be. There are official websites that mention what powers the Monarch has, and the list is extensive. The above mentioned is just one of those powers.

[valdeeracruso]

Charles went to Gordonstoun, said as Gordonstun NOT Gordonstown, which the narrators keep saying.
