Following the sad news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at the age of 96, several members of the Royal Family - including the newly appointed King Charles III - have been taking part in royal engagements which have also involved meeting members of the public.
During these meetings, it's not unusual for royals to shake hands and chat with those who have lined up to greet them, but this routine didn't exist before the reign of Her Majesty. The practice of greeting members of the public, known as a "walkabout", was popularised by the Queen over 50 years ago, and it has since changed the way all members of the Royal Family interact with those who travel to see them.
