I was also pretty impressed at the speed of which edits were being added. I opened the Poundbury article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundbury) and even though the news had just broken and it was a tangentially related article, the opening paragraph already said "keen endorsement of Charles, King of the United Kingdom".

I had no idea about Poundbury's link to CRIII. I live in Yeovil, roughly 30 miles away and I have a customer there too.

From memory it is quite different to the norm - lots of space is one impression I had. The road system is a bit different to what we expect in Britain too. Can't quite put my finger on it.

I think I might toddle on down and review the place with my eyes open.

I just looked at it on Google Street View. It needs a few more old trees, but a lot of it is quite charming.

All the more remarkable is that all of this is done by unpaid volunteers.

Changing mentions of Charles, Prince of Wales to Charles, King of the United Kingdom seems like something that's easily automated though. I highly doubt someone manually went searching for pages that mentioned him to update them.
