King Charles revealed the unexpected secret to how he stays fit at 77 years old.
Greeting guests at his surprise birthday party at Cyfarthfa Castle in Wales, His Majesty drew laughter and surprise from the crowd as he casually shared that he trains “twice a day.”
According to GB News, the moment came courtesy of Love Island winner Liam Reardon, who used his brief introduction to invite the King to check out his soon-to-open gym.
“I'm opening a gym next week, so if you ever fancy a little session, let me know, we'll have a little session together,” he told the monarch. Charles chuckled before responding, “I try to do my exercise twice a day.”
Reardon later recalled complimenting the King’s fitness, prompting Charles to repeat, “I train twice a day.” The reality star replied, “I can tell.”
The light exchange added a humurous touch to the birthday reception attended by local organisations, community members, and Welsh names like Ruth Jones and TikTok creator Lewis Leigh.
Guests sang Happy Birthday before the King cut into a vanilla sponge cake shaped like Cyfarthfa Castle, complete with jam and buttercream.
“What a special birthday surprise at Cyfarthfa Castle - showcasing what the Welsh do best!” King Charles’ office commented.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla spent the afternoon at Cyfarthfa Primary School for Poetry Together Day, taking part in activities with students as her husband continued birthday celebrations at the historic venue.
