King Charles III has returned to London following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and has been greeted by huge crowds outside Buckingham Palace.
As his car reached the gates of his new home, Charles and his wife Camilla – the new Queen Consort – exited the vehicle so the new monarch could meet his people. The King made his way along the edge of the huge crowd, shaking hands, exchanging pleasantries, and even receiving a kiss on the cheek from one woman.
As has become the norm with any significant event in this modern, digital age, many people in the crowd of adoring royalists were filming and photographing the historic moment on their mobile phones. During his walkabout in front of the palace, one of His Majesty’s personal security guards was said to have repeatedly told people not to use their phones.
