King Charles, Camilla get up close with animals on first visit to Wales since coronation

King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived Wales on Thursday for the first time together since the Coronation, attending Brecknock Agricultural Society’s annual show.

Camilla and Charles had an up-close encounter with the animals as they met an array of livestock including a llama during their trip.

Royal family took to Twitter to share videos and photos from the royal couple's historic visit, captioning: "It was wonderful to be reunited with so many of the local community of Brecon today!

"Their Majesties were presented with a showcase (from alpacas to ice cream!) of Brecknock Agricultural Society’s annual show, which attracts around 12,000 people each year."

Excited crowds gathered to greet Charles and Camilla, along with schoolchildren and First Minister Mark Drakeford. Elements of the Brecknock Agricultural Society’s annual show were set up for the Royals to view in the field.

Camilla and Charles met an array of livestock, spoke to local food and drink producers and met representatives from Black Mountains College, a new college based in Brecon with courses specialising in adapting to the climate emergency.

The King and Queen are also expected to unveil a plaque later in the day to mark the visit.
