Yes i imagine it was recorded before he was King. After all Camilla doing bake off completely changed public opinion from -ve to +ve.

He was the Prince of Wales when this was filmed.
I donât know it for a fact, but I think The Repair Shop is a very popular, maybe a beloved programme, in the UK, and I feel that he may well be âforgivenâ.

I think possibly the best programme on tv. I donât mean for all the âwowsâ and tears, though they are enjoyable, but for the sheer pleasure of watching real artisans at work and, best of all for me, their infinite patience in what they do. I mentioned elsewhere that I even managed, as a definitely non DIY type person, to persevere with a difficult bit of sawing recently. As it got progressively harder I thought of that patience and completed the task perfectly. 
I hope Charlie benefits as much.

All the artisans you surely mean craftsmen and womenđ
An artisan can be male or female, or any other gender.

100%. We got the word from French (thank you King William the Norman, you gave our language lasting elegance), who in turn had it from Latin.

I see you translated âLâartisanatâ as âcraft-MAN-shipâ though!
Why not? A woman knows when sheâs a woman.
These days there are no âactressesâ only actors. Mind you, they also call their trade âworkâ and a âcraftâ, so goodness knows.

Blimey! Revelations indeed in this video about Charles. I also watched the one about Edward, and again, such revelations!
Sounds all very murky to me, but the Royal Household doesnât respond to issues like these publicly, do they?
Whatâs next I wonder?
If Andrew was obnoxious on a personal level, to staff and security officers, and others, Iâm really surprised to hear that he was always Queen Elizabethâs favourite.
Possibly because she was doing the same thing, perhaps?
Maybe. But will such revelations about her ever be published?
No one knows for certain who was the Queenâs favourite or even if she had one, this suggests it was Edward -
Sod that
