Charles has quite deliberately and sensibly adopted a low profile approach to his first year as King. After 70 years, he knew that a period of reflection and acceptance of change was needed. He hasn't done a lot and that was the right approach. You can't judge him yet as he has been relatively inactive. I would imagine that he has been involved in a lot of planning for the short term ahead. Expect a much busier schedule.
So, to put it in simple terms, he's done OK then (sorry to all the (not so) closet republicans on NSC!)

As a monarchisf, I don’t think he’s done ok. Why is he allowing his brother to be prominent again?

You have to mark him as average then, which in footballing terms is 6/10.
The only trouble is that the OP has started the marks at 7/10, which is a ' good ' rating.

For the few who think he merits less than a 7 I have now added an option for 6.

how about a 0/10 as there is no way of knowing what difference he actually makes?

in context?

What do you mean?

The NYT is a left-leaning paper. As I suggested above, presumably a case of mistaken identity.

The Times (of London) is firmly on the right of the spectrum but I've not heard it labelled "extreme right" before. A "Tory rag", sure. "Murdoch propaganda", absolutely. Perhaps, I've missed its lurch into far right politics or maybe we have a different conception of extreme right.

If you'd said "extremely right wing", I'd let it slide but "extreme right" seems hyperbolic (and just wrong in the case of the NYT).

I have read it online it’s free . Whilst there is some difference of opinion from some of its writers , The guardian in general has an overall mindset that is set by its editorial team .
I also don't agree the Guardian is a left wing paper. I think it's centrist, but in the binary age we live in, any media outlet that is independent, tries to offer alternative or balanced opinion and not subserviant to the bilionaire owned media mediums are automatically pigeon-holed as lefty, for tofu eating wokerattis.

You could argue the Mirror is left wing as they seem to (sometimes) sensationalise news stories in a tabloid way which is critical of the government. But I would say left of centre

There isn't anything that is truly lwft wing. Is there a paper or news outlet that truly supports Union activism, supports strikes, it's journalism would be from contributors who would proudly call themselves socialists? nup
