After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles III has served as the ruler of England since last September 8, when his mother died, although the official coronation has not taken place.
Following his ascension to the throne, the new 73-year-old king has not stopped generating content with his recent disastrous “moments with the pen”, as well as the news that in his first week on the throne he laid off 100 employees.
Now it has been revealed that Carlos III hired an instrumentalist to wake him up by playing the bagpipes outside his window at 09:00 am every day. It is worth mentioning that the position was not assumed by just any piper, since, according to The SunThe monarch gave the job of his morning alarm clock to the man he rang at his mother’s funeral, Paul Burns.
Paul rose to world fame performing the haunting lament Sleep Dearie Sleep as the queen’s coffin disappeared from sight in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
However, it is not just another whim of the new sovereign, since the use of a personal piper is a kind of tradition among monarchs, one that Elizabeth II also enjoyed during her reign.
His mother loved having her piper. It’s a lovely tradition. […] The king was full of admiration for how he did his duty to the queen. Everyone is delighted that her quirky job hasn’t disappeared with her. The tradition is that it happens at 09:00 am, but the king always wakes up much earlier.

Now that King Charles III has made Paul his personal bagpiper, following a tradition that began in 1843, the man will travel with the new monarch and play the bagpipes outside his window every day, wherever he stays in the UK. .
