"It was amazing to see them all there in real life, just like you’d see on a postcard."
Charles, 74, ascended to the throne in September after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth.
But polls show the public generally approves of Charles as king and a majority still support the monarchy, even if younger people are far less interested.
