>"This is like King Charles the 3rd complaining about his dripping pen (true current news story). I'm sure it incredibly annoying to him but to the rest of people it's laughable."
Given the enormous amount of stress and pressure he is currently under, not just as the new King, but also having just had his mother die, I'm impressed at his composure. I suspect most of us would have snapped and shown far greater emotion.
Without trying to be mean, I'm less charitable. He's had a lifetime to prepare and the resources of money, power, staff and literally an entire nation to support him in his time of transition.
I have deep compassion for him for the loss of his mother. I have zero compassion in terms of the position he finds himself in. With the support he has, he could run his life on auto-pilot. By comparison, I'm more impressed by the average Joe or Jane in the street holding down their lives (often alone) while coping with that loss. And I'm damned sure that a leaky pen wouldn't be their breaking point.
