Formality with fun and an eye for timeless quality make the soon-to-be-crowned monarch a role model for the older man.
For a person who, all his long life, has been a full-time target for photographers, there are remarkably few pictures of King Charles looking badly in his clothes.
But not all that much work. Look at him as a wiry, fit young man in his polo kit. Whisper it: The guy was, jug ears and all, a little bit hot. If he’d kept the beard he sported periodically in the 1970s, he might have kept the temperature higher for longer. Whiskers suited his light skin and were a great match for hunting tweeds or a navy-style blue blazer. There is still time, Your Majesty, if protocol allows a modern king facial hair.
Again, the suit must be carefully chosen and cut. To see how hideously wrong a double-breasted suit can go, consult almost any photograph of the Conservative politician Jacob Rees-Mogg, whose tailor is obviously a Labour agent.
