Monarch Showcases Busy Schedule with Visits to Brewery and JCB Headquarters
Buckingham Palace has released a new video highlighting King Charles III’s latest engagements, offering a glimpse into the monarch’s active schedule despite continued speculation about tensions within the royal family.
The royal family shared footage of the King visiting Tower Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent, a community fixture for 24 years. The Palace detailed in a statement that the brewery is housed in a renovated water tower, originally built in the 1970s and restored by owner John Mills in 2001. Mills has since earned awards for both his beers and the preservation of the historic site.
"During the visit, His Majesty learned about the brewery’s production process and joined local business owners at a reception," the statement added.
King Charles, 76, appeared in high spirits throughout his engagements. He was seen pulling a pint and even assisting with a tyre change on a JCB vehicle during a visit to Staffordshire. The monarch toured JCB’s Rocester headquarters as the company marked its 80th anniversary before heading to the family-run Tower Brewery, where he raised a glass to owner John Mills, toasting to his "very good health."
The King’s cheerful interactions come as former royal aides claim that William and Harry’s relationship remains strained. However, Charles appeared unfazed, focusing on his engagements and enjoying lighthearted moments with those he met.
