King Charles Joins Community Beach Clean in Kent

King Charles III actively participated in a community beach clean-up event along the Deal coastline in Kent, organized by the local environmental group Deal With It, which has been running such initiatives since 2007. He joined volunteers, including cadets from the Kent Wing Royal Air Force, Deal Army Cadets, Sea and Royal Marines Cadets, and local Scouts, demonstrating his long-standing commitment to environmental conservation and plastic waste reduction. During his visit, the King also engaged with the public and volunteers, praising their dedication to preserving the marine environment and underscoring the importance of community responsibility. Earlier in the day, he visited the Walmer RNLI Lifeboat Station, where he heard about a traumatic rescue operation involving migrants crossing the channel, highlighting his awareness of local challenges beyond environmental issues. The King’s hands-on involvement was warmly received by onlookers and reinforced his role as Patron of Surfers Against Sewage, reflecting his ongoing advocacy for environmental causes. This event was part of a broader day of engagements in Deal, including visits to Walmer Castle and Deal Castle gardens, connecting royal heritage with community and environmental efforts.
