King Charles jokes about Pokemon and his grandchildren at the state banquet
King Charles joked about Pokémon – and hinted that his grandchildren are fans.
Charles, 75, hosted a state banquet to welcome Japanese Emperor Naruhito And Empress Masako to Great Britain on Tuesday, June 25. The monarch revealed that he and 64-year-old Naruhito bonded over their love of opera and went on fly-fishing expeditions together. Charles joked that he has been trying to improve his fishing skills while also absorbing a little Japanese pop culture.
“I’m only sorry to report that I haven’t had better luck with more recent attempts at fishing – the Pokémon phrase ‘I’ve got to catch them all’ may resonate with my grandchildren, but for me it may be ambitious. said the king during his speech.
Charles’s self-mockery pointed to his grandchildren, Prince William And Princess Kate‘s three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, are fans of the media franchise. (Charles’ grandchildren too Prince Harry And Duchess Meghan Markle‘s son, Prince Archie, and daughter Princess Lilibet.)
Videos are circulating X from the pastry show William, 42, who responded to his father’s joke with a sly smile.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if William and Kate’s kids were Pokémon fans, as the little ones seem to have an interest in pop culture. George and Charlotte were present Taylor Swift‘S Eras tour in London at Wembley Stadium with their father on June 21.
A royally good grandfather! King Charles III – who took the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II – has been a doting grandfather since Prince William and Princess Kate began expanding their family. The Princess of Wales has given birth to the couple’s first child, son Prince George. […]
In addition to posing for a photo with Swift, 34, the royal family also met the pop star’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Travis, 34, said William was “very genuine, very cool” with him and his brother Jason Kelce‘New Heights’ podcast on Wednesday, June 26.
“Dude, he was the coolest mom. He was so cool!” Travis exclaimed. “I didn’t realize this because obviously we meet him backstage because he was there with little George and Charlotte, and it was an absolute joy to meet them.”
Travis admitted he was unsure of royal protocol and whether to “bow, bow” or be an “American idiot” and give William a handshake before Jason reminded him they had been given “a warning” about how to greet the royal family.
Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton are the proud parents of three children and have shared many beautiful moments with the little ones over the years. The couple married at Westminster Abbey in London in April 2011, five months after their engagement. William and Kate went on to welcome three children: Prince George and Princess Charlotte […]
“But they said we didn’t have to bow or curtsy because we weren’t at an official royal event,” Jason recalled. “If it was an official meeting of royalty, that’s what it would have been. But I still addressed him as Your Royal Highness.”
Jason, for his part, said his “highlight” was meeting the “damn cute” Princess Charlotte.
“I can’t express how… I don’t know, maybe it’s because I have three girls now – she had fire to her, she asked questions,” Jason said, noting that Prince George was also “amazing.” “That was the most electric part of it [royal encounter].”
