Private visit

King Charles III’s visit to Romania is of a private nature, British Ambassador to Bucharest Andrew Noble said on Monday, adding that the monarch will meet President Klaus Iohannis as a courtesy gesture.

Charles III will be received by President Klaus Iohannis at Kotrocen Palace on Friday from 15:30, according to the official program of the head of state.

  • “It has been 25 years since our King first visited Romania, in 1998, and this will be the first time a British monarch has visited Romania, but this time it will be a private visit, like most visits by the then Prince of Wales them in Romania.
  • We understand what a private visit means: as always, he will meet the president as a courtesy gesture. After he visits Kotrochen, the rest of the visit will be private.
  • He’s known to have various projects that he’s been involved in over the years, and private visits usually involve that approach, and I expect there will be something like that on this, but there will be private meetings,” Noble said. , for Agerpres.

Five days in Romania

The private visit of King Charles III to Romania will last five days.

The British monarch will go on a campaign in Transylvania, and his son, Prince Harry, who lives in the USA, will come to London to testify in the trial against the Mirror media group, writes The Telegraph.

King Charles’ solo trip to Romania, scheduled for five days, will coincide with his son’s rare appearance in the UK, meaning they are unlikely to see each other, The Telegraph reports.

According to The Telegraph’s sources, King Charles was staying at one of his estates in Transylvania.

King Charles has been a long-time visitor to Romania, where he currently owns at least 10 properties, having bought his first property, an 18th-century Saxon house in the village of Viscri, in 2006. The King will visit during the visit and at his residence in Wiskra. The countryside around his Wiskra home gives the nature-loving monarch the opportunity to go on excursions and see wildflower meadows, as well as walking and riding trails.

The royal estate has no Wi-Fi, TV or radio, but the living room now has “a small hi-fi CD player”, according to The Telegraph.

The last visit of Charles, then Prince of Wales, to Romania took place in May 2022.
