Very cool. For being as old as he is, His Majesty is remarkably up on tech. It's sad but I can see the cheapshots being lobbed his way. He gets alot of unfair scorn imo. Some is deserved but certainly not all.

Pretty big deal for this to come from a guy who probably remembers the invention of radio or gramophones.
It looks like history isn't your strongest point. The guy is 76 years old, not 150.
