Royal fans have voiced their displeasure that the first picture of King Charles working from the monarch's red box appears to have been 'staged'.<\/p>\n

King Charles has only been on the throne just over a fortnight following the sad passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on September 8 earlier this month, with much of his duties since revolving around her state funeral as the nation joined together in mourning for the beloved monarch.<\/p>\n

Despite still grieving, Charles has managed to find time in his busy and hectic schedule to carry out some paperwork, though Royalists are sceptical of its authenticity.<\/p>\n

In a post shared on Twitter, released by PA, Charles can be seen in the Eighteenth Century Room at Buckingham Palace, said to have been taken last week. In it there is a picture of the Queen with his father, the late Prince Philip, in the background, while Charles looks to be sorting through red boxes of various government and palace documents.<\/p>\n

The iconic box tends to contain important papers from government ministers and Commonwealth representatives and can often require a signature.<\/p>\n

However, one Twitter user was quick to pour scorn on the image, commenting: "The acting. The props. These staged photos are always hysterical to me."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another replied: "Yes…screen play…and go…sadly reach out and touch box, look forlorn…Nailed it!!! Meanwhile in his first speech he said he was grieving, camera panned to Camilla who rolled her eyes."<\/p>\n

Others were equally as critical, as one user said sarcastically: "Because papers always fall gracefully into position like that after a box [has] opened."<\/p>\n

Charles was defended by some users, with one passionately declaring: "He's not acting – this is another duty he has had to take on & he'll do this for 363 days a year for the rest of his reign.<\/p>\n
