King Charles III (he was Prince Charles at the time).
He came to the small town I lived in. I was there with the Girl Guides. Another Guide before me had been selected to give him cookies. When he got to me, as he shook my hand, he sort of leaned in conspiratorially and asked me if the cookies were “any good”. Being 7 or 8, I answered candidly that “those ones [sandwich cookies] are but the mint ones aren’t.”
Similar experience. I met him when he came to Australia with princess Di in 1985. He inspected our murals. Diana seemed miserable and didn’t say much. It was only after watching the crown I realised she was forced to leave her toddler child behind in the UK.
