Not exactly the best PR for TM.
What was rather more telling is that the weekly press conference was handled by a deputy prime minister as the PM was in Brussels for EU talks and while the PM knew about the planned holiday to Greece his deputy was caught of garde by the journalist asking about the King's travel plans.
Most political parties have responded that they appreciate the king and queen returning after having made an error in judgement. Yet the fact that the PM was aware of it and did not stop them going there and did not inform his stand-in/deputy is something that will end up with another round of questions in Parliament surrounding the monarchy and the political responsibility the PM and other ministers have about the actions and public statements of the monarch.
