King Charles III, 76, brought his signature humour to his final engagement before Christmas, responding to a health inquiry with a cheeky remark: “I’m still alive.”
The monarch and Queen Camilla visited Waltham Forest Town Hall in north London, where they celebrated community efforts by engaging with volunteers, emergency services personnel, young leaders, and faith representatives.
The lighthearted moment came when Harvinder Rattan, a Sikh community leader, greeted the King warmly, prompting the monarch’s witty response that elicited smiles and laughter from attendees.
The festive visit underscored the royal couple’s commitment to grassroots initiatives and their appreciation for diverse communities during the holiday season.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King’s health treatment, which began earlier this year, will extend into the New Year. Despite the ongoing medical care, the Palace reports positive progress, with Charles maintaining his royal duties and displaying remarkable resilience.
His humour and dedication continue to resonate with royal fans, reinforcing his steadfast commitment to serving the nation.
