And you can just feel how with everything so perfect something is wrong, like - why that session of short video calls of the monarch with random (but very proportionally selected and similarly clothed in style) people even happens? What is it intended to show, that the king has empathy for every person? Were I a citizen of Belgium, I’d prefer the king to not care and tend to his garden instead. This feels so glowing and fake that one can’t help thoughts like “what if the king actually eats children for breakfast”.
