Attention royal fans: Another striking photo of King Charles has been released. (Yeah, I know, the royal fam has shared a few notable ones as of late.)
Over the weekend, the royal was photographed wearing a beige suit while recording the 70th Anniversary message for the BBC World Service’s Antarctic Midwinter broadcast. In the picture, King Charles can be seen with his hands folded, sharing a warm and welcoming smile (a surprisingly soft moment for the monarch).
The official Buckingham Palace Instagram account posted the snap with the caption: "The King has recorded a special 70th anniversary message for the @BBCWorldService’s annual Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast, dedicated to research staff stationed at @BritishAntarcticSurvey (BAS) facilities in Rothera, Bird Island, and South Georgia. The programme is broadcast annually on 21st June - the longest night of the year in Antarctica. First broadcast in June 1955 as a short-wave message for an intended audience of around 30, it is now heard and enjoyed by millions globally. The traditional celebration includes recorded personal messages from friends and family at home."
Also included in the post was a personal message from King Charles that read, "I particularly wanted to send my warmest good wishes to all of those serving at British Antarctic research stations this Midwinter’s Day, and above all, to express the greatest admiration for the critically important work you do."
The monarch even signed it with his unique signature: "Charles R." (FYI, the letter "R" stands for "Rex," which is the Latin translation of the word "king.")
Hopefully, this summer will bring on more friendly photos of the king.
