Most recently, King Charles completed a nine-day Caribbean tour, undertaking around 40 engagements across the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda.
One of the most iconic moments was when Charles joined the Junkanoo parade in the Bahamas. He was seen clutching handbells and dancing along Bay Street in Nassau.
According to Hello! Magazine, a senior palace aide shared, “The King said, ‘I think I’m going to get involved,’ and off he went and did.
“At the end of it, they said, ‘Could they have the cowbells back?’ Because perhaps they might want them as a special souvenir for the next Junkanoo.”
Speaking of the old man’s never-ending enthusiasm for doing a job he was born to do, an aide issued a positive update on his health.
The Palace source said, “I think probably the best response to that is a picture of a man about to turn 78 wangling the cowbells as he jives down the street in nearly 40-degree heat.
“When the engagement finished, I got in the car next to him and say: ‘Crikey, I’m hot’. He says, ‘Oh, never mind.’ So no, he copes. I mean, frankly, he copes better with it than I do, and I’m younger than him.
