A five-article manifesto for King Charles III has been prepared by a former BBC reporter and host. As the new King begin his reign, he is mourning Queen Elizabeth II's death and has reached Wales on Friday for Her Majesty's funeral on Monday.
Former BBC reporter and host Peter Hunt posted five suggestions for the new monarch on Twitter. He said: "A proclamation for the bold beginning of the reign of King Charles:

He apologizes for his family's role in the slave trade.


Start paying an inheritance tax.

Give Harry his honorary military pledge back.

Bring on Harry and Meghan back.

Buy a good pen.



Some people disagreed with Hunt's tongue-in-cheek proposal, and social media users were outraged by comments about the slave trade.

King Charles has been dealing with errors since he became monarch, and leaking brushes frustrate him, as per reports. The king was furious when he broke a pen while signing a book with Camilla, his wife, at Hillsborough Castle, Northern Ireland's official residence.

Charles realized for the first time that he had entered the date wrong and complained about the pen he was using. "Oh my God, I hate this pen!" he said. Charles stood up, handed his pen to his wife, Queen Camilla, and Camilla said: "Oh, it's all over the place" as her husband wiped his fingers, Charles was seemingly disappointed with the pen.
