I've seen a few reports he flew up to Scotland later today for a few days at Birkhall. Sounds like the best place to be at the moment.

He was photographed at Aberdeen's airpoirt this afternoon, driving the car. So yes, he is Scotland right now. In private, away from the mess.

I love the tie.  The interlude in Scotland was probably timed to the book drop and wisely so. I hope Cams is already in Scotland or will join him soon. Peace be upon them both, and the Wales' too. |

https://www.theguardian.c...ofits-towards-public-goodThe King has asked for profits from a £1bn-a-year crown estate windfarm deal to be used for the “wider public good” rather than as a funding boost for the monarchy.
Under the taxpayer-funded sovereign grant, which is currently £86.3m a year, the King receives 25% of the crown estate’s annual surplus, which includes an extra 10% for the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace.
Six new offshore wind energy lease agreements, announced by the crown estate on Thursday, have generated a major windfall for the estate, which would usually lead to a jump in the monarchy’s official funding.
But the king, who highlighted the cost of living crisis in his Christmas message, has requested that the extra funds “be directed for wider public good”, instead of to the sovereign grant, at a time when many are facing financial hardship.
It is not clear as to the exact amount of taxpayer funding the king has passed up, but it is likely to be many millions.

That is so nice of him, I imagine there were lots of people who hope he could spare a dollar...
