King Charles and Queen Camilla experienced a brief security disruption during their visit to Jersey's St Helier today, leading to a temporary evacuation to the nearby Pomme D'or hotel.
The incident unfolded during their third engagement at Weighbridge Place in the Channel island, where a precautionary measure was swiftly enacted after concerns arose.
Following a brief hiatus of approximately 20 minutes, the royal couple returned safely to continue their scheduled activities, including meeting local schoolchildren outdoors.
A spokesperson confirmed that the security alert was a false alarm, allowing the visit to promptly resume as planned.
Earlier in the day, King Charles expressed his joy at revisiting Jersey, a place cherished for its beauty and significance to his late mother.
Their itinerary included a warm reception at St Helier's Royal Square, where they were honored with a special session of the States Assembly, Jersey's local parliament.
Despite adverse weather conditions, the King and Queen received a warm welcome, arriving in a state Bentley and sheltering under umbrellas.
Queen Camilla, dressed in a blue silk shirt dress by Anna Valentine, accompanied the King as they were ceremonially escorted into the square, flanked by the Royal Mace presented to Jersey by Charles II in 1663—a symbol of the island's enduring allegiance to the monarchy.
Their presence was met with ceremonial splendor and local admiration at St Helier's Royal Square in Jersey.
