King Charles has now left Bermuda (Image: Ian Vogler)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n The King waved goodbye to Bermuda this afternoon after packing in 12 engagements in under 24 hours on the sunny island. Charles spent his final day learning about an ambitious UK Space Agency project to track space debris and open the new Great Bay Coast Guard Station.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n At St David\u2019s Island, the King went on an impromptu walkabout to chat to well-wishers who had waited for hours in the sun. They told him \u201cThank you so much for coming\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s such a pleasure to have you\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He went inside the home of the Royal Bermuda Coastguard, where he saw the operations room where staff can monitor CCTV images of the coastline and track vessels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Read more:<\/strong> Adorable video of Princess Charlotte shows her hidden talent <\/a><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> King Charles hailed in Bermuda after Trump’s bombshell decision <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Outside, he was shown the Deep Trekker, a robot oil drive which can be deployed underwater in areas that are difficult or dangerous to reach, and the Anafi Parrot drone, which can reach heights of 1,000ft and is useful for searching for missing people in the sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The area on the Pacific island was identified for its unique position in the world, which will allow the agency and its partners to track harmful debris flying around space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The first phase of the \u00a340 million \u2018Project Nova\u2019 is to establish three telescopes on the North-west coast of Bermuda, about 1,100km off the US coast, that will be able to spot asteroids or rogue satellites heading towards Earth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After hearing more about space debris and methods for catching it, the King was shown a video of Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, one of the Artemis II crew, whom Charles had written to ahead of the mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Recorded as the crew were returning to Earth, he said: \u201cI shared your letter with the crew and it really resonated with the crew deeply, specifically your thoughts around scientific pursuit, stewardship and reverence for all that is sacred.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And that\u2019s a wrap! The King has left Bermuda after a whirlwind trip. ???????????? <\/p>\n He took a photo with the police and security officials who looked after him during the trip before boarding the plane.<\/p>\n Charles turned to wave before heading inside after a busy 6 days. pic.twitter.com\/znwU8n1YWy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Emily Ferguson (@emilyinpalace) May 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n
