The day I met the King
People across the world recall their meetings with King Charles III of the United Kingdom.
People from all over the globe remember their meetings with King Charles III over the years. They include Dr Joe McInnes who took the former Prince for a dive beneath the ice of the North West passage in 1975, holocaust survivor Lily Ebert, Joseph Hammond who met the King when he visited a military cemetery in Ghana and former pop singer and Spice Girl Mel B who remembers several hilarious encounters with the King including one involving the former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela. Their stories reflect on the King’s personality – from his friendliness and humour to his knowledge and empathy.
