King Charles III was seen sharing a hug with members of the New Zealand women's rugby team, with many fans saying the monarch 'needed it' and were left in tears by the touching moment
Royal fans were moved to tears after King Charles III broke with tradition to share a "sweet" moment with the New Zealand women’s rugby team, with many saying he "needed it."
"Why not?" he said, before being surrounded by the players for a group hug, with everyone laughing and cheering. The 75-year-old King later joked: "It was like being flattened by a scrum." Many fans were surprised to see the King hugging, as this is usually seen as a break from Royal protocol. Typically, men are expected to bow and women curtsey when meeting a monarch.
The hug also happened around the anniversary of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II’s death on 8 September 2022, which sparked conversations among fans. On TikTok, one user said: "Anniversary of his mum's passing so he needed that too."
