The monarch welcomed New Zealand athletes to Buckingham Palace on September 14 as part of a meeting at Buckingham Palace. Red roses From England.
While Buckingham Palace hosted the New Zealand women’s rugby team this Wednesday, September 11, King Charles III found himself in an unexpected situation.
“I was defeated by the fight”
In the middle of a discussion with those we call Black ferns (“les Fougères Noires”, in French), the monarch was asked for… a collective hug. “We would all like to hug you, but only if you agree,” admitted winger Ayesha Letti-Iiga, speaking as the voice of her team. “A hug? Why not?” Charles III promptly replied, to everyone’s surprise. The athletes, not losing, threw themselves into his arms, laughing and delighted. “I was floored by the fight,” joked the father of Princes William and Harry afterwards.
“I’m lucky to have met you”
The King of England, fond of crowd bathing and more affectionate than the late Queen Elizabeth, rarely indulges in such displays of affection in public. But this moment does not seem to have displeased him, on the contrary. “I’m lucky to have met you and to have been warmly embraced like me. Thank you,” he humorously commented a few minutes later during a short speech.
