King Charles Visits Charity in Scotland

King Charles visited The Gate Charity in Alloa, Scotland, on Thursday, where he engaged with staff and volunteers working to support the homeless and those facing food insecurity. Dressed in a traditional red and green tartan kilt, the 75-year-old monarch was warmly received by royal fans, some of whom were eager to embrace him, reflecting a more casual approach to royal engagement compared to previous generations. During his visit, he learned about the charity's various programs, including its food bank and community initiatives that have expanded in response to increased local needs. While many greeted him enthusiastically, protesters also made their presence known, holding signs that read 'Not my king.' The King's visit highlights the ongoing efforts of The Gate, which has grown significantly since its inception 14 years ago to serve the community's pressing needs. This visit coincided with ongoing treatment for cancer, showcasing his commitment to royal duties even amid personal challenges.
