Privacy NoticeThe King and Queen were swiftly escorted from an outdoor expo in Jersey today due to a security concern. Charles and Camilla had their third event of the day at Weighbridge Place interrupted during their Channel island visit and were ushered into the nearby Pomme D’or hotel. After about 20 minutes, the Royal couple re-emerged to greet local schoolchildren and attend a tea party. A Royal insider told the Mirror. “There was a small issue of concern, an investigation turned out to be a false alarm, every precaution was taken and the programme resumed shortly afterwards.” This incident comes as the King has expressed his joy at returning to Jersey, praising the “beautiful and unique” island which he said was held in “high regard and affection” by his late mother. The Royal couple made their appearance in St Helier’s Royal Square on Monday afternoon for a ceremonial sitting of the States Assembly, the local government, in their honour.

Despite the rain, they received a warm welcome with loud cheers as they stepped out of the state Bentley and quickly took cover under umbrellas. The King and Queen were led into the square by a Royal Mace, a token of appreciation from Charles II dating back to 1663 for the island’s loyalty to the Crown. Charles and Camilla walked down a red velvet path lined with 200 local professionals, including Jurats, judges, politicians, and various guests. Everyone present rose to sing the national anthem as the Royal couple took their platform. The Bailiff, who is the president of the States Assembly, welcomed the couple before Charles responded: “Mr Bailiff, I am most grateful to you and to the States for the warm welcome you have extended to both my wife and myself, and for the assurances of devotion, loyalty and allegiance to the Crown you have expressed on behalf of the people of Jersey.”

He added: “My wife and I have such happy recollections of the welcome we received when we were last here in 2012, to mark the Diamond Jubilee of my late mother. “During that visit we met so many Islanders and learned of the high regard and affection in which she was held, and also a great deal about your beautiful and unique island. We look forward to doing so again today during our time here in St Helier.” The gifting ceremony saw a shift from tradition, with locally sourced duck eggs replacing the 800 year old custom of presenting two dead ducks to the monarch. This formed part of a homage paid by five senior seigneurs, or lords of the manor. Each had a moment to shake hands with the King.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
