Imagine just trying to mourn your mother but it's a giant media circus event

Eh, the King could always have moved his proclamations back, and pushed the funeral forward. Let's not pretend he's powerless. He's quite the opposite.
The late Queen had four children, eight grand-children, and sixteen great-grandchildren. Plus, the proclamations are only a small part of what's happened over the last ten days.
That, and you are king now.
That, and barely anyone likes the fact that you're king now.
"I am your king!"

"Well I didn't vote for you!"

I didn't vote for the PM either, just 0.3% of UK adults voted, and less than 0.2% voted for the PM
Only those in the party that form the government vote for PM (depending on the rules of the party). The stats you've chosen have as much relevance as pointing out how many non-Americans vote for the US president.
That's the whole point -- this is for the peasants.
Oh boo hoo for him.
