Well, it's not very day that you bump into the King! But that's exactly what happened on this bike ride.
We were riding on Balmoral estate, and there were plenty of Range Rovers and guards with guns, but we didn't actually expect to see or speak to the King in the way that we did.
I'm not a big fan of the Royal family, in fact, I suppose I could be described as anti-establishment. That doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy meeting King Charles, and it doesn't stop him from being a very nice man to talk to either.

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING!! While there were no guards within sight of the camera, please know that the King very much had plenty of security nearby and numerous vehicles had scouted the route the King was walking before and after him. He had his own space, but still very much protected, as you would expect for a King.

@@misterwhite37 it says a lot about a country if the head of state has security which affords him a feeling of being 'free' and engage in casual chats with strangers without compromising his personal safety. no US president would get away with this mindset. but then again, it all happened on his own private property and he has already done most of his duty by firmly securing the line of succession. it surely is a great pleasure for him to occasionally feel almost 'normal' and not in his formal role of king all day. meeting 'ordinary' people and not always ministers, offcials, foreign dignitaries and somesuch must be a relief he cherishes

The end of the interaction with the king, when he says don’t fall off… he knows the path you are taking and probably thinks you are crazy for doing it but admires you all for it too. What I really liked about the conversation with the king was the questions. He would be used to being asked some ridiculous things or the same things all the time, but you kept it relevant. Just like asking any land owner if some old building are still in use. He seemed to really enjoy the conversation and appeared to be thinking back to when he was younger as well. Well done.

He did seem to be in a contemplative state of mind. Perhaps he just discovered his cancer diagnosis around this time having fairly recently lost both his parents - the latter of course making him the King. When you think what's he's been through in the past five years it's a huge transformation on a very personal level (not to mention globally).

“I didn’t want to care but that was pretty cool” is something I totally understand. Seeing the king up close in public surrounded by guards would be far less noteworthy. Seeing the king randomly out walking that beautiful path, alone, being a human and enjoying himself and his thoughts, THAT is special and he just talked to you as if he were an older man out for a walk. What a truly rare and unique experience. THAT is something I’d hope most people care about.

I got to spend the next 2 hours just yarning away before the restaurant owner closed the place and invited me to stay and have drinks with them. Spending an evening sinking beers with Vigo Mortensen will be one memory I will never forget.

Turns out he was a famous hockey player (whose name I've forgotten again), which, in Canada, is pretty much like being royalty. I realized he was famous when people asked him for his autograph. I was super into fitness, so we compared notes on fitness routines and stuff. He also talked about the younger players who liked to date a lot, and how he couldn't imagine doing that, and how much he loved his wife. He was really nice. At one point, I asked, "Are you offended that I don't know who the f*ck you are?" He said no, no, that was exactly what he was hoping for at that pub.

I also met the prime minister from the same party at a festival in Stavanger once and at two o'clock at night while being fairly drunk she just said "I think it's time I leave" and she just walked by herself with no bodyguards to the hotel. I figured this was only possible in Norway, but watching Charles walking without bodyguards it seems it's also the case for the UK. Our former king once said when asked why he had no bodyguards "I have 4 million bodyguards" referring to every Norwegian being his bodyguard.

I honestly agree! My country Sweden also has a king, just like Charles here he is not head of government, only head of state. I find them both to be quite lovely men and certainly represent our countries cultures and values better than any elected politician ever could. These are two vastly different roles! I understand anti-monarchists too, their arguments make sense, but I simply believe we should consider tackling the real issues our societies face on a political level before going for grand symbolic gestures like getting rid of our monarchy.

A lot of coincidences such as Diana revealing Charles's affair and growing animosity. Not to mention growing immense wealth while the country sees extreme poverty get worse every year for decades under his watch (however, usual for the royal family). Just the fact that a constitutional monarchy still exists for a superpower country with fission weapons in the modern time is insane. These people should all be put on a rope by the public and elect representatives that are fit for power and executive decisions, with wealth removed from the equation.

They didn't recognise the Queen, but they mentioned that they heard the Royals go walking here and how fantastic it would be to meet one. The Queen pointed to the person she was with and said, "he knows the Royals, in fact he's good friends with the Queen", so the tourists wanted to have a photo with the friend, after they took it, the Queens friend suggested a photo with everyone in it. And then they parted ways. They had no idea they just met the Queen, maybe one day someone else saw the photo and pointed it out to them.

It's of course making a bit of fun of the tourists knowing about the Queen but not recognizing her, at the same time, it made the encounter mostly unique for them. The story goes that they made the Queen take a picture of them with him. Then he insisted they should include his "friend" in the next picture.

There’s something so cool not just the king being down to Earth and not taking issue with being called “sir”, but also with your lady friend fanning away some tears when she rode off to even her surprise because meeting the King of England was an overwhelming experience, even in the smallest interaction.

The Royals genuinely love Balmoral as it is the closest they get to being normal - they can walk, her late Majesty used to drive herself around... so it was lovely that Charles took time to talk with folk similarly enjoying the fresh air.

Thanks. I wanted to repeat it like all the comments but you explained it to me why they can be like that in this place. He seems to really enjoy it, too! When he heard you were using the Hut wich they just renovated for travelers. Wich also gives me this England Vibe. We were a few times visiting Uk and always got some really really really nice Cottage for a decent price for a Week. 🥰

That quip at around 05:44 "Don't fall off" was quite cheeky. He seems like a nice guy. As a non-UK person, I was under the impression that meeting a royal, especially *the* top royal would require getting off your bikes and curtsying or whatever, but instead we got a nice chat. I liked that he was very specific too about where he wanted to plant more trees. And that descent down the rocks was quite awesome! My heart was in my throat and only let out a breath once you came back to the clearing.

Many times we view history as just notable personalities, families, occurences and dates without realizing the human aspect of it all. History goes from one generation to the next through retold stories, however minor and mundane. The way he talks of what his family members used to do in that area is awesome considering that those memories are from nearly 70 years ago and he is from a family of historical significance. As someone mentioned in the comments, this is truly a moment that resembles a medieval run in with the king of the land. Different ages, same interaction.
