[@grahamlait1969]

True story... Some years ago, while biking round the Balmoral estate at this time of year with a few mates, we found ourselves being passed by a black Range Rover every hour or two, with a couple of chaps in tweed jackets, check shirts and tartan ties inside. It's the country, so we always waved at them and they waved back, until one of our party, an ex cop, told us that these were the royal protection squad checking out who was on the estate and where. When the next black Range Rover came tooting along the shooting track we were on, it was mid-afternoon and I was lying on my back in the heather beside the track, knackered because I was middle-aged, overweight and unfit. I really couldn't be bothered waving any more, so I just waggled my unclad (as I was wearing shorts) knees at the car in a sort of greeting. As it went past, I noticed the elderly lady driving the car raise two fingers from the steering wheel, without letting go of it of course, to acknowledge my greeting..... a pregnant pause followed and then one of our party, who were leaning on their bikes beside the shooting track said, 'That was the Queen, wasn't it?' and we all agreed that it had indeed been Her Majesty. So, I can say, with complete honesty, that my sole contact with our dear old Queen was the time I loyally waggled my hairy knees at her and she regally raised two fingers to me in reply... without a word of a lie!

From personal experience I can confirm that he is indeed a very nice and friendly man as I have met him Myself on a number of occasions during My Life.

As someone who lived in the Netherlands for nine months during a work-mission secondment from my company. I saw the King and Queen multiple times in a public park working out, and not single Dutch person said hello lol 😂 everyone was just busy doing their thing. I also parked next to the PM a couple of times, at various traffic lights 🚦 on my bicycle, and no, he wasn’t in a car. He was on a bicycle too.

When the king of England can enjoy a stroll on his own, it demonstrates the safety and the freedom we all enjoy here in the UK.

[@GTF85]

Not for long with all those boats. Your King is well up to speed on how that’s going and guess what? He’s doing nothing about it. He’s part of the WEF.

[@TheDisruptiveYouTuber]

@@GTF85 I'm not going to get i to a political debate but Charles is powerless. Its the government who makes decisions. Its actually against the constitution for the monarch to pass opinion on the matter, never mind get involved.

[@obvious-troll]

He is the King of the United Kingdom as well and also King of Antigua and Barbuda, King of Australia, King of Bahamas, King of Belize, King of Canada, King of Grenada, King of Jamaica, King of New Zealand, King of Papua New Guinea, King of Saint Kitts and Nevis, King of Saint Lucia, King of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, King of Solomon Islands, King of Tuvalu,

No such thing as the King of England. Charles is King of the United Kingdom

[@billyred889]

This brief encounter will do more positive PR for the monarchy than most interviews and books, why? Because it’s unscripted, natural, and warm. The king could be anyone the way he conversed with total strangers without a care in the world. I’m not a monarchist, and I think Charles has done a lot of things he still needs to atone for (we all know what they are), but this earned him a bit more respect from me.

[@fastgurrrl]

That is so cool. What a unique memory to have and share. Awesome that the Kind is out like that, great walking stick.

I saw a similar video on YT where some American tourists met the late Queen while walking at Balmoral. They asked her whether she lived locally, she said yes and they chatted awhile. They did not recognise her nor know who she was and she never told them - priceless.
