On April 2nd, King Charles and Queen Camilla showed up for the Royal Monty Service in North Wales, marking the first time in its 800 year. History, it's happened there. The event went down as St. Asaf Cathedral on Thursday, April 2nd, with a couple all smiles as they stepped in. This annual tradition honors the last supper and pushes ideas of service and humility. Charles handed out those classic Monty purses, filled with coins to 77 local pensioners, one for each year of his age. It was his full return to the ritual after skipping last year due to cancer treatment, which he's now scaling back. Crowds loved it, with kids greeting them with white flower bouquets and church leaders calling it a huge honor. They rode out fresh music from Welsh artists and even used the cross of Wales that led Charles's coronation procession. Workers quickly covered some anti-King graffiti nearby before they arrived. Up next, the family heads the Easter Service at Windsor, though Andrew's daughter's Beatrice in Eugenie got to pass this time amid their

dads, scandals. They're still welcome at Spots like Royal Ascot and keep low rent palace pads. Traditions like these keep rolling, blending royal duty with real family ups and downs as Charles stays steady on the throne.
