The picture of Mark Carney with French President Emmanuel Macron showed him with his left hand draped around Macron’s left shoulder, his right held by both Macron’s. The wattage of their collective smiles could light up a coal mine. Clearly, they are best buds.
Carney had the same grin on his face when he met the King. The monarch, however, had an ironic smile when looking down his nose at his former servant, the governor of the Bank of England. Carney did crack a joke: “bit of a disaster today, sir. My Order of Canada pin broke.” Poor Mark. Charles then quipped: “do you want mine?”
