With Sport and Harry grabbing the news headlines this week did anyone see this photo of King Charles and Queen Camilla visiting London Zoo on Thursday?
The photo tickled my funny spot - is Charles deliberately copying the pose of the penguin he met?

😁 it’s a cute penguin, it allowed them all to listen to its heartbeat through stethoscopes, it was prob hoping for a fish afterwards.
I thought KC looked hot and uncomfortable in a long sleeved shirt, tie and suit.

Agree the King does look a bit too hot . By contrast Camilla looks cool and very smart.
What a co-operative Penguin! I hope it was rewarded with a fish.😊

It may have just been too hot to protest 😁I would likely feel the same.

I thought the same. Charles is standing in the same pose as the penguin.

I saw it on the news with a short video of them visiting various animals, all very sweet. They should be able to wear far more suitable and cooler clothing due to this heatwave.

I mentioned the King’s inappropriate clothing in hot weather in another thread recently but then I did notice in the paper that he was offered to take his jacket off but he declined. He did, however do so when visiting an army base recently where he drove a tank.

KC did look a bit warm but maybe he’s in the tradition of my dad. He never removed his jacket - his concessions to summer were to forsake his long johns and discard his sleeveless pullover. You knew it was hot, then! 😁
