His rather pompous air and need to flick through the program of events did not help endear him to me and I’m sure others: his impatient, testy flapping at the staff who had tried to replace the signing pens for the oaths reminded me much more of his father than his mother and immediately reignited my fear that he is just not cut out for this job.

He has a lot to learn.
I’ve always said he takes after his father, be interesting that’s for sure
