King Charles reacts after woman breaks royal protocol
The woman praised King Charles III when he took the gaffe in good humour
King Charles III has been praised by a woman who made a protocol blunder during the monarch's visit to Grimsby Town Football Club on Thursday.
According to the local media, Francine Orr, the football club's ticket office manager, greeted the monarch in an unexpectedly casual fashion despite being briefed beforehand on royal protocol, including proper forms of address and how to bow and curtsey.
However, Orr found herself slipping up when Charles approached her. She said: "I've had it in my brain all morning, then he comes up to me, and he shakes my hand, and I said 'All right darling, oh no, I'm so sorry Your Majesty'."
The King took the gaffe in good humour, laughing and stepping back before telling her: "I like being called darling."
Ms Orr described Charles as "so down to earth" and called him a "lovely, lovely man," expressing delight that he had chosen to visit the club.
