00:00Charles' secret weapon to shielding the royal family from scandal.
00:04King Charles III's work ethic could protect him and the royal family from any drama.
00:09Since ascending to the throne, King Charles III has led the monarchy through Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Prince Harry's various scandals.
00:17Despite the negative attention the ex-royals brought to the crown, Charles remains committed to his role and family.
00:23The king is upping his workload to compensate, royal correspondent Jenny Bond told The Mirror.
00:28He is a man with a mission, to protect his mother's legacy, make his own mark on the monarchy, and then to hand it over in fine fettle to his son, William, when the time comes.
00:38According to Jenny Bond, King Charles III is following Queen Elizabeth II's seen-to-be-believed mantra, adding he's anchoring the monarchy with a steady hum of public service.
00:48His own sons have talked about his strong work ethic, recalling how they often used to find him face down at his desk,
00:54in a pile of papers as he dealt with correspondence late into the night, Jenny Bond noted,
00:59as Prince Harry wrote about his father's workaholic nature in his memoir, Spare.
01:04While King Charles III won't depend on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to carry out royal duties,
01:10Princess Anne remains at his side, still working as hard as he does.
01:14In fact, she did more days than anyone, including him.
01:17In the past year, Jenny Bond pointed out,
01:20The siblings represent a traditionalist front of duty that stands in stark contrast to the controversies surrounding other members of the family.
01:27I still believe we should cut him some slack, Jenny Bond continued.
01:31After all, he's the only working royal to have a young family,
01:34and the only one to have a wife who has so recently undergone grueling cancer treatment.
01:39There will be time enough for him to immerse himself fully in the business of monarchy.
