As a member of the Royal Family, it's highly likely that King Charles doesn't experience many of the constraints most regular people deal with on a daily basis. However, in recent years, the monarch has found himself forced to give up some of the hobbies he once enjoyed.

During his royal tour of Australia and Samoa in October 2024, King Charles was asked what his favorite sport was.

The King also referenced his history as a polo player, saying, "I used to sit on a horse."
