EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Further indications that King Charles is not coercing Andrew out of Royal Lodge to the smaller Frogmore Cottage.

His Majesty, who is known to be a keen gardener and lover of nature, attended the annual event in London on Monday, May 22, for the first time since becoming King.

The destination? Transylvania, specifically an idyllic corner of the Zalan valley, 1,500 miles from Windsor in Romania.

The King will sleep in a simple wooden bed, drink hand-pressed apple juice – and maybe even judge the local lawn-mowing competition, as he has done on previous visits to his home in Transylvania.

King Harald V of Norway is the closest European monarch to the British Royal family: he is a second cousin to the late Queen through Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s oldest son, Edward VII.

Holly Willoughby laughed with the King today today at Buckingham Palace as the monarch met American actor Stanley Tucci.

King Charles bought his estate in Valea Zalanului, Szeklerland, in the 1990s and now rents it out as a nature retreat to those wanting to explore the Zalán Valley.

Mike Tindall appeared on GMB this morning, ahead of his annual charity golf day at The Belfry Golf Club in Sutton Coldfield.

It is a fitting first engagement for the King, who is a fervent environmentalist but can no longer speak out on such issues following his ascension to the throne.
