King Charles III made an awkward admission in a special episode of The Repair Shop, airing tonight on BBC One.
In the one-off episode, filmed in 2021 when the royal was still Prince of Wales, he admitted it took him years to recognise the tune being played from a clock in Clarence House. In the royal edition, which marks the BBC's centenary, the King tasked Jay Blades and his experts to repair an 18th-century bracket clock and a 19th century ceramic piece made for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
When clockmaker Steen Fletcher presented their finished work, King Charles said: “Have you sorted this? Marvellous! It’s tolling a Scottish tune", MirrorOnline reports.
