Jay Blades has addressed criticism that he 'broke royal protocol' while filming a special episode of The Repair Shop with King Charles. The monarch invited the BBC One show's gang Dumfries House to help him with a bracket clock and a Wemyss Ware ceramic piece.
The episode, which was filmed was filmed when Charles with still the Prince of Wales and prior to him accending the throne following his beloved mother's death on September 9, was a one-off to mark the BBC’s centenary and has been hailed as 'wonderful' by viewers.
The now King was visibly moved as he viewed the handiwork on an 18th-century clock whose chimes had been restored. Before the big reveal, presenter Jay greeted the monarch with a cup of Earl Grey tea presented in an HRH mug, to which Charles responded: "How did you guess."
