The first days of King Charles’ reign were marked by mourning, anger with pens, accusations of racism, reactions that he could not control and that placed him in the eye of the hurricane.
Now, it has been a child with whom he has starred in a curious moment. The King and Queen Consort visited Project Zero Walthamstow, an organization that promotes the inclusion of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds or considered at risk of gang involvement, sexual exploitation and exclusion from school.

What did King Charles say to a child who asked him his age?
As Charles made his way to the center, he chatted with local children from Barn Croft Primary School, who were waving British flags. It was at this meeting that the king approached and one child asked him, “How old are you, King Charles?”

“You can guess, you can have a guess,” he is heard saying in a video shared on Twitter. The King of England who will celebrate his 74th birthday next month avoided answering the question.
For the occasion, Charles dressed as usual, elegant in a blue pinstripe suit, while his wife, Queen consort Camilla has opted for a pretty blue dress adorned with feathers.
The couple was invited to visit Project Zero by youth champion Rico Thai-Richards. There they toured the site and learned about the important work of the youth group through a conversation with Richards, Stephen Barnabis, Project Zero’s founder and operational manager, and Conor Ellis, project opportunities coordinator.
