The King is reportedly frustrated at his inability to get involved in soothing the national unrest.
Rebuilding broken communities was one of his specialisms as Prince of Wales, when he was able to summon ministers.
But as King, he must channel all dealings with government via the PM.
After the 2011 Tottenham riots, local MP and now Foreign Secretary David Lammy recalled: ‘Several national figures showed up for a photo-op in Tottenham in the days after but never came back. Prince Charles returned five times. In some ways, he has done more for my constituents than most politicians.’
