Finally, King Charles will be able to mourn his mother's death in private. These days after the funeral, without such a busy schedule, will do he good to be able to mourning.

Private time and mourning might do them some good, but the red boxes will still be coming every day.

The boxes don't ask you to smile and you can do them in pajamas.

I’m happy to hear the King is off for some time out of the public eye. I was thinking earlier about the sheer number of people he’s had to deal with since his mother’s death and it’s kind of overwhelming. For me, it wouldn’t be the walkabouts with the public that would be so bad - Charles can probably do those in his sleep by now. But there have been so many encounters where he’s had to be ‘on’ and attempt to be engaging, with the endless line of government leaders, Commonwealth leaders, religious leaders, extended family, foreign royalty and on and on.
He looked like he was running on fumes at the funeral. I hope he recognizes he needs to physically and mentally rest..

"His Majesty The King’s Red Box ��
The Red Box contains papers from government ministers in the UK and the Realms and from representatives from the Commonwealth and beyond. The documents are sent from the Private Secretary’s Office to The King, wherever he may be in residence, in a locked red despatch box.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth received Red Boxes, which were made upon her Coronation in 1952, almost every day of her reign, including weekends and holidays, but excluding Christmas Day."

Probably sooner, rather than later. They will need images they can use ahead of the coronation.

They will also need official photographs for Embassies/High Commissions and government buildings as well as profile photographs to use for money at the very least.

Who knows - while at Birkhall he may even be sitting for his first official 'painted' portrait as King and even have a day for 'official photographs' in different clothes and settings to be released from now to the end of the year.

I am surprised that King Charles and the Queen Consort went back to Scotland. I thought they would have been too busy with decision making and needed to stay in or near London, the capital city. Face-to-face communication is usually the best.

I assume a lot of the decisions can be made either straight away based on Charles' personal choice - e.g. like the cypher or need time for staff to collate the options available so they can present them to Charles when he returns. It may also be no bad thing for him to be away from London and a bit more secluded at Birkhall so there is no undue influence from staff/circumstances etc in London, a clear head, in a rather more secluded place to make the right decisions for the future.
