The King picked up a special gift for his granddaughter, Princess Charlotte, during his Northern Ireland visit – and claimed she will “love” it.
Charles, 77, and Camilla, 78, began an unannounced three-day trip starting in Belfast on Tuesday, visiting science and discovery centre Odyssey Place, home to W5 LIFE (Learning Innovation for Everyone).
There, he met several young business owners supported by the King’s Trust. The organisation works to deliver programmes designed to create new career opportunities.
He even picked up a beaded bag charm for Princess Charlotte, 11, and she’ll likely be delighted to receive the special gift from his travels, as she shares a close bond with her grandfather.
The King met Rachel Rose, the owner of jewellery business Empower Flower, who presented him with the charm. “Thank you, she will love that,” Charles said.
“I wanted to give back after experiencing some dark times myself,” she said. “I’m trying to encourage people to come off their phones and use their hands to create some magic.”

Close bond
King Charles may have brought home a sweet gift for Charlotte this time around, but he’s usually the one to receive gifts. The monarch is often spotted sporting friendship bracelets – and wore a new bright pink one during the Royal Windsor Horse Show last week – believed to have been made by Charlotte, though this is unconfirmed.
Prince William and Kate’s daughter has been seen wearing the bracelets on multiple occasions, which have become a tradition among Taylor Swift fans.
Charles and Charlotte have a lot in common as they’re both known to enjoy watching ballet. The King is also close to Prince George and Prince Louis, though he was sadly forced to miss Charlotte’s 11th birthday on 2 May due to wrapping up his State Visit in Bermuda.

Dancing King!
King Charles and Queen Camilla are currently on a three-day visit to Northern Ireland, though there are strict security measures in place.
During a visit to Belfast’s Titanic Quarter and meeting performers taking part in the Fleadh festival, the monarch was seen tapping his feet and dancing as he embarked on the historic visit.

Charles could not resist dancing with the eclectic group from across the globe and joked with Tendai Nyamayaro as the two men swayed to Syrian music.
Mr Nyamayaro, originally from Zimbabwe but now living and working in Belfast, said: “I didn’t expect the King to dance with us – that was pretty cool.”
Due to the tight restrictions on the trip, details of each engagement are not being revealed in advance, but the King and Queen will likely embark on another action-packed day of events as they resume their visit on Wednesday.
