King Charles has given the royal seal of approval to the BBC's Repair Shop, as he appeared on tonight's (Wednesday) episode. The filming of the special programme, to mark the BBC's centenary, occurred before the Queen's passing, when he was still Prince Charles.
The programme, visiting Dumfries House in Scotland, wasn't just a chance to see Charles relax with the craftsmen, though. He brought some goodies from the royal household for them to get their teeth into.
In The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit, the then Prince of Wales needed help with an 18th-century bracket clock which has been in the family for some time. He also brought along a piece made for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee by British ceramics maker Wemyss Ware.
