Over the past several years, there has been a raging debate over the relevance of the monarchy. Many claimed the royal family was no longer popular enough, while some firmly believed in the purpose it served. However, in many ways, King Charles’ visit to the BRIT School on Friday proved just how much love and adoration he continues to receive from members of the public.

The monarch was swarmed by crowds of schoolchildren screaming his name and cheering for him when he arrived at the prestigious BRIT School this morning. They rushed to the barricades to shake his hand. Pushing their way through the throngs of fans, one arm extended, while the other held on to a phone to record the encounter, it was chaos of the best kind.

Funnily enough, when the soon-to-be 78-year-old arrived at the institution, he seemed to struggle for a moment due to the harsh sunlight. But he made a quick comeback and walked towards the squealing fans. It was hard to ignore them, of course. Their cheers were almost deafening!  And their volume may have only increased the moment Charles stepped towards the crowds. He was instantly encircled by cameras and onlookers, so much so that it became difficult to spot him amidst them. And we have a video to prove it! 


The King’s visit to BRIT School and then to the Surrey Street Market on Friday coincided with his birthday eve. And it was perhaps spent in the most fun-filled way possible, surrounded by arts, music, legacy, fresh produce, and obviously, people’s love!
