Why King Charles Was Bemused by One Young Royal Fan's Festive Outfit During His Visit to Bermuda
"He's worn it ever since!"
Following his eventful visit to the United States, King Charles traveled to Bermuda. Although Queen Camilla didn't join her husband for the second part of the royal visit, King Charles was enthusiastically greeted by royal fans, some of whom dressed up for the occasion.
As reported by the BBC, one particular fan, a 4-year-old boy named Theo, greeted King Charles at a welcome event wearing an extremely festive and unexpected costume. Per the outlet, Theo was wearing a King's Guards outfit, "which caught the monarch's attention."
According to the publication, "Theo's mother said she purchased the outfit from the shop at Buckingham Palace two years ago." It also transpired that Theo loves the outfit so much, he pretty much refuses to take it off. "He's worn it ever since!" Theo's mom explained.
In photos taken in Bermuda, King Charles was visibly delighted to meet Theo, and seemed to appreciate the young fan's regal costume.

King Charles also watched a performance by the Bermudan Gombey dance troop. Their spokesperson, Irwin Trott, told the BBC, "I told him that it's a combination of cultures, African, Caribbean, West Indian, Native American and, of course, Great Britain."
Trott continued, "Even though they were stripped of their identity, names were taken, their language was taken, deep in their heart they maintained their culture, and so it still flourished throughout the Caribbean."
