From swans and dolphins to property and jewellery, King Charles III has quite a bit of portfolio adjustment to deal with in his accession to the throne. | By Tony Wright tonyowright queenelizabeth

As apparently endless crowds drifted through the royal grounds of London, queuing to lay flowers and messages of reverence around Buckingham Palace for their late Queen, they were blessed by the sight of white swans gliding serenely on the lake of St James’s Park.It’s one of the peculiar royal prerogatives passed to him on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Charles, we hasten to reassure, is a committed conservationist and is not about to roast a swan, nor a whale or dolphin. All this now goes to Charles’s elder son and heir apparent to the throne, William, new Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall. Charles attends a consecration ceremony in 2004 at Poundbury, a traditionalist village built on Duchy of Cornwall land.His fortune now rests on his new inheritance of the Duchy of Lancaster, which serves to help support each monarch.

The Duchy of Lancaster is valued at around £700 million , though the sovereign can’t touch the principal because the entire estate must pass to the monarch that succeeds him or her.

Pivoting if people are right is why humans survived so far Assange is a POLITICAL prisoner without trial in a maximum security prison.This is Grossly illegal and shows the level of criminality the British Justice system has fallen to in its subservience to the USA's CIA. Time for the UK to adopt some ethics Before it goes down the tubes.

I'm in UK at the moment as are other members of my Aussie family. Sad but lucky to be here at this time in history Procession was all done very appropriately. No family is free from problems, but no other has to share them with whole world.

King Charles III needed a ‘breather’ after ‘losing his rag’Former TV royal correspondent Nicholas Owen says it was inevitable for King Charles III to need a “breather” after “losing his rag” in public. Mr Owen said he doesn’t blame King Charles, as he has “so much on his plate”. “He’s a man who’s incredibly conscious, intelligent man, incredibly conscious of public image at all times,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. Leave him alone!!! Two days in the job & he can't cope? It can't be bc he needs more helpers - the whole nation is happy to assist. Maybe he ought to abdicate for William? I'm very sorry for his loss and I've no doubt he's been under immense stress and pressure but it's not as if he never behaved this way before his mother died You can be a monarchist and still be willing admit to some major areas of concern in Charles' character and actions
