King Charles ‘drowns a few sorrows’ after England’s World Cup defeat

While pouring a pint at the Hall & Woodhouse Badger Brewery, he joked, 'Maybe it's a good day to drown a few sorrows,' which was met with laughter. Queen Camilla was present during the event, smiling alongside the king. The article also included suggestions for coping with the disappointment of the World Cup defeat.
