Is Charles truly reveling in his role as King?

'

King Charles, devoid of inherent diplomatic or political prowess.'

Ascending to the throne after nearly seven decades of anticipation, King Charles III doesn't exude the demeanor of one relishing the responsibilities, as suggested by a royal expert.

Following the demise of the late Queen in September of the previous year, Charles, her eldest son, assumed the title he had awaited throughout much of his life. His reign commenced with a multitude of challenges, from familial discord to the demands of official engagements.

King Charles and Queen Camilla recently made waves with their inaugural visit to Kenya, marking a significant milestone in the Commonwealth country during his rule.

Royal biographer Tom Bower shared insights into the King's new role, asserting, "King Charles is not a natural diplomat or politician. His struggles stem from a profound awareness of the tragic events during the Mau Mau period, where Kenyans suffered more at the hands of their compatriots than the British."

Speaking on GB News, the expert remarked, "His prior aversion to African visits was evident; a duty thrust upon him before assuming the throne, highlighting his prior neglect of the Commonwealth. The reality is, Camilla, not inclined towards lengthy travels, compounds his current difficulty. The job he waited so long for appears less than enjoyable."

While reminiscing about Kenya, Bower juxtaposed joyful moments like Prince William and Princess Kate's engagement in 2010 with the acknowledgment of the painful facets within the long and intricate tapestry of the royal relationship.
