King Charles III has been speaking to personnel from 3 Royal School of Military Engineering Regiment (3RSME) in his first military appearance since returning to official duties after receiving treatment for cancer.
Charles, the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Engineers, spoke to soldiers from 8 Engineer Brigade, received the royal salute and met the children of serving personnel during his visit to Gibraltar Barracks in Minley in Hampshire.
As he entered the officers’ mess, the King told Lieutenant Colonel Robert Grant, the commanding officer of 3RSME: "I do apologise for taking you by surprise, when this opportunity appeared and I had been allowed out of my cage, I wanted to come to have a look."
