King Charles has a brutal method when preparing his speeches, according to a royal commentator, as he "throws away" his staff's work.
Angela Levin, who has written several books on the Royal Family, revealed to GB News that the monarch has speechwriters but "redoes" the speeches to his liking.
When discussing the King's speech from last night at Mansion House, Levin told Patrick Christys: "He was very sensitive.

"But this way, there's part of his heart and feelings [in the speech].

"I have often described the United Kingdom as a 'community of communities'; an island nation in which our shared values are the force which holds us together, reminding us that there is far, far more that unites us than divides us.
"Yet we are living in something of a watershed age.

"For example, will the coming of artificial intelligence bring with it an era of ever increasing material plenty and leisure?
"Or will it fundamentally change and perhaps even consume jobs and other opportunities before capturing and then surpassing our very minds themselves?
"After decades of debate, our television screens - or, increasingly, mobile phone screens - confront us each day with the stark realities of climate change.
"But are devastating scenes of communities scarred by fire and flood – not to mention the migration of people fleeing those terrifying phenomena – enough to persuade us to take the action that is needed; to make the sacrifices needed to secure our planet for generations yet unborn?"
