King Charles Meets a Small Fan Named Lilibet As He Issues Tongue-in-Cheek Health Update

King Charles petting a corgi while talking to fans outside Durham Cathedral.

King Charles was forced to miss the traditional Royal Maundy service last year after being diagnosed with cancer, but on Thursday, April 17, he made his return to the event with Queen Camilla. The 76-year-old King looked in good form as he chatted with well-wishers outside Durham Cathedral—and the monarch met one fuzzy friend with a tie to the Royal Family.

Queen Elizabeth was famous for her love of dogs—especially corgis— and one royal fan brought her own corgi to Durham on Thursday. Per GB News, Pat Johnson, a woman from Jarrow, England, waited with her 18-month-old Pembrokeshire corgi outside the cathedral hoping to meet The King and Queen.
