King Charles was visibly moved on a special episode of The Repair Shop as he heard the chimes ring once again on an 18th-century clock.
The new monarch appeared on a special episode of The Repair Shop on Wednesday night, filmed while he was still Prince of Wales, before the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
King Charles showed the team around the grounds of Dumfries House in Scotland, where students work on everything from woodwork to horology, as part of The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit.
After impressing viewers as he spoke of the importance of apprenticeships and noted that ‘not everybody is designed for the academic’, the King was shown the fully restored clock, and was left in awe as he heard it ring.
Before the big reveal, presenter Jay Blades greeted the monarch with a cup of Earl Grey tea presented in an HRH mug, to which Charles responded: ‘How did you guess?’
