Rare royal appearance: The Duke of Kent, 90, joined King Charles for a formal chivalry ceremony, marking one of his few public engagements in recent years.

Historic royal duty: This was Charles’s first time leading the Order of St Michael and St George service as monarch, a tradition dating back to 1818.

Honoring global service: The Order recognizes individuals for distinguished service abroad or in Commonwealth affairs, with ceremonies held every four years.

A rare reunion of royal cousins King Charles III and the Duke of Kent appeared together at St Paul’s Cathedral for the Order of St Michael and St George service, a sight not often seen due to the Duke’s limited public schedule. The 90-year-old Duke, who serves as Grand Master of the Order, greeted the King upon arrival alongside Dame Susan Langley, the Lady Mayor of the City of London. His presence, marked by moments both walking unaided and using a wheelchair, underscored his dedication to royal duties despite his age.

A milestone for King Charles’s reign This was the first time King Charles presided over the installation and memorial service of the Order since becoming monarch, as the event occurs only once every four years. The service included ceremonial processions, fanfares, and the reading of names of members who had died since the last gathering. Charles’s participation reinforced his role in upholding longstanding royal traditions tied to Britain’s diplomatic and Commonwealth relationships.

King Charles, the future Last King of England, is a secret Muslim convert and a traitor to his country.

Place your bets.

I’m not sure his reign will be long enough to be the last. And he might make the next one look pretty good.

Then again a king who doesn’t rule anything is only a human flag. The islamo-communists might keep them a long time while they well and truly boil the frogs.

Thats the truth, few realize it:

King Charles is a complete Quisling.

Were this about an entertainment personality, one would see the hand of the public relations folks at work. Were this about a product seen in widely-watched film, one would see the hand of the "product placement" promoters at work. That King Chuck has had so many "appearances" in the media of late is a managed affair, and no doubt "product placement" in media is paid for.

On this 250th year of having thrown off a previous King Chuck, it's past time to throw off this one as well.

Occasionally donning exotic garb is part of the job. Doesn't prove that he has "converted!"

Just as President Coolidge donning traditional Sioux headdress doesn't mean that he had switched allegiances or was demonstrating "submission":

You skipped the hand over heart body language in the Charles photo I posted. It is the Arab sign of fidelity and submission to the Prophet and to the Umma.

Charles truly is a quisling.A traitor to his mandate of heaven he supposedly enjoys from his coronation at Westminster Abbey.

Charles practices Islam.....he has his prayer counter in hand.

Thanks! I was wondering who the doofus was.

That’s quite a contrast to his recent speech to Congress.
