    His work is in the area of Royal Duties, Charity Works which can include things like attending state funerals, national festivities or presenting honors, entertains many people at dinners, lunches, receptions and garden parties, answers letters. Bringing people and organizations together, encourage, entertain, represent, visit, lift up the spirits, creating jobs.  Some basic requirements would include following Royal protocols, etiquette, keeping up with appearances.

    However this job is basically a thankless one, subject to ridicule, disdain and assassination but in return you live in luxury, comfort and constant attention.

    Exercise his forearm and wrist muscles by lifting the brandy glass repeatedly perhaps? I really don’t know. Maybe he did more than that. I really could give a rats @ss about these “royals” so I haven’t really researched his background to be honest. Perhaps I owe him more respect. It’s just that I get nauseated with how people put these royal clowns up on a pedestal and obsess over ever little thing they do. These people eat, sh*t, sleep, f*ck  (at one time or another) and fart just like the rest of us... just in more luxurious accommodations as a rule.

    He waved a lot, insulted people even more, and unveiled even more plaques.
