King Charles Met the Oldest Living Person, Who Reminisced About the Days When “All the Girls Were in Love” With Him

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - FEBRUARY 12: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) King Charles III attends a demonstration by young people involved in The Huddle Project during a visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 12, 2025 in London, England. The Huddle Project is a dual sport programme (launched in 2023 by Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, the National Football League (NFL) and Nike) for boys and girls aged 11-18 which increases access to free football and NFL Flag.
