King Charles gets surprise message from astronaut on moon mission

King Charles received a surprise during his final engagement in Bermuda.

On Saturday, the monarch was shown a video message from Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen during his visit.

The message, recorded while Jeremy traveled around the moon as part of Artemis II, thanked Charles for his ongoing support and reflections on environmental stewardship.

The official Instagram handle of the royal family posted the video clip from King Charles' visit.

Details shared in the caption revealed, "Out of this world! As a special surprise during His Majesty’s last engagement in Bermuda, The King was shown a video message from Canadian astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen, filmed during his journey around the moon on Artemis II."

The caption read further, "@AstroJeremy thanked The King for his well wishes and reflections on environmental stewardship, ahead of their historic mission."

"In a bid to ensure space is safe and clutter-free, the UK Space Agency (@spacegovuk) is launching “Project Nova” – installing five telescopes sites worldwide to track space debris and support international sustainability," it further revealed.

The palace also noted, "Bermuda is the first of those locations – and this morning, The King officially launched the project."

"In 2022, The King’s @SustainableMarketsInitiative launched the ‘Astra Carta’ to act as a framework to inspire sustainability across the space industry," it concluded.

King Charles' Bermuda visit comes after the King wrapped up four-day state visit to the US alongside Queen Camilla.
