On Tuesday, King Charles (who is still undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer) traveled to Southport, England to meet local residents as well as the survivors and families of the victims of the terrible tragedy that occurred in the town on July 29 when three girls were killed during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class from a stabbing attack.
The King held a private meeting with the families, as well as viewed the many flowers, stuffed animals and other tributes left in memory of the victims. Following the outing, the British royal family shared a carousel of pics taken of the 75-year-old monarch during the event on their official Instagram page.
The first slide features a photo of His Majesty meeting a young royal admirer, who is standing behind a metal fence. With a smile, King Charles proceeds to shake her hand. What's striking to this royal observer is that even though the king was visiting on official business (despite being on his summer holiday, I should add), he still took time to shake hands and speak with the children there. It was a lovely moment during what has been a difficult time for the community. (Honestly, it feels like something Kate Middleton would do.)
