Former prime minister Brian Mulroney says he thinks newly crowned King Charles III will 'surprise everyone,' and 'be excellent' as the new monarch, in part because he has been 'constantly underestimated all of his life.'
Former prime minister Brian Mulroney says he thinks newly crowned King Charles III will “surprise everyone,” and “be excellent” as the new monarch, in part because he has been “constantly underestimated all of his life.”Mulroney has spent a lot of time with King Charles III since the two first met four decades ago, and the former prime minister said he considers him a “good friendly acquaintance,” having last visited with him just before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
“But … I mean, for a politician, for example, there's no better position to be in than to be underestimated,” he also quipped. “So I think that Canadians and others can look forward to him being a fantastic king.” Mulroney said he and King Charles are both fans of the late English singer Vera Lynn, who sang the “very sentimental song” “We'll Meet Again” to troops boarding ships to fight in France during the Second World War.
