Windswept King Charles braves Storm Boelo chaos on Sandringham estate

 

The monarch appeared windswept as he was pictured walking to St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringhamn Sunday morning, King Charles was spotted braving the seasonal weather, making the decision to walk to St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham as opposed to taking a car. The 77-year-old looked sprightly and in great spirits as he was pictured.

Royal fans were surprised at this, as they expected the father of two to be driven from Sandringham House to the nearby church on his Norfolk estate to avoid the risk of falling branches, since Storm Boelo has brought heavy rain and winds of up to 80mph to the UK.

Several large trees on his estate fell over in Storm Boelo, causing destruction. One large tree from his estate fell on the A149, which blocked the road.

"I would think having suffered the traumatic death of a parent, that something like this could be very triggering in that respect... having a sick parent now," Zach said, speaking of Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, who tragically died in a car crash in Paris when he was just 12 years old. 

Referencing his father, Harry responded: "Yeah, but he's getting better."
