King Charles III Smiles During Healing Hug From New Zealand Rugby Team
King Charles III was all smiles during a meetup with New Zealand’s Black Ferns rugby team — especially after getting a chance to hug the players.
“We all wanted a hug,” winger Ayesha Leti-I’iga asked Charles, 75, in a social media video posted on Wednesday, September 11. “But only if it’s OK with you.”
Charles, seemingly surprised by the request, responded, “A hug? Why not.”
Once he agreed, the entire team ran to embrace the king. He also offered some of the players individual hugs.
