He hasn't had any time to grieve, poor man. What he's had to do the last few days would break most people down.

Indeed, he did quote Robert Burns of Ayrshire. His deep grief is so palpable.❤️

Exactly why is the family expected to tick boxes, appease media and public. Let them have peace. Society is disgusting. Charles needs to rest, actually let things sink in.

Seems that King Charles really enjoyed reading Robbie Burns
Robbie took care of his mother and siblings after his fathers passing But he couldn’t maintain the family farm The Duke of Edenbourgh sp enjoyed his first book of poems and bestowed the title poet laureate of Scotland upon him what a tribute for a farm boy

Bet his mate Jimmy would be in his element his pal Charlie now being the King! And Sheeple feel for this man we truly are fkd!

King Charles is a wonderful person Big weight on his shoulders with his new found title Hope he deals with all the commonwealth of nations as best he can There’s a lot of terrible history in the past but it was parliament and not the monarchy that called the shots
Parliament gained 100 percent power once the Hanoverian Kings moved in ❤

is mummy or uncle Jimmy not calling you or your dragon yet, your not welcome in Scotland

Burns would have had none of it. Selectively quoting a Scot who saw the British and their empire for what it was is ironic in the extreme.

What would this super rich criminal know of Burns? The very sort Burns railed against..
