King Charles was given a surprise compliment from a young royal fan during his visit to New York City yesterday. Stepping out without his wife, the King made an appearance at an urban farm in Harlem, with his arrival taking place around 2pm local time.
During his visit, the King was greeted by Tony Hillery, the founder and chief executive of Harlem Grown, a nonprofit that operates urban farms to provide youth development programming. The 77-year-old was shown around the raised beds, greenhouse, tool shed, composting station, chicken coops, bee hives and more in the middle of a city block by some Harlem Grown members and schoolchildren from Thurgood Marshall Lower Academy.
One little girl then turned to the King, and said: “I like your hair”.
The King then replied: “Do you? Good.”
Following the visit, the King left Tony some honey from bees at Highgrove House, one of the royal residences.
As he made his exit from the visit, the King was sure to greet some wellwishers that were waiting on the other side of a barricade.
In response to the fact that security measures had been put in place, the King told them, “I’m sure I’m ruining your day”.
Whilst her husband was on the visit, the Queen had her own trip to the New York Public Library, with fellow guests including well-known faces such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour.
The 78-year-old is seen on her journey to the US with baby Roo, a character from Winnie-the-Pooh, and later returned him to the New York Public Library.
