King Charles III was seen being driven through London, England, on Saturday, September 17.

Video posted by Matt Batten on Saturday shows the king in the royal motorcade in London. Batten, who said he was on the phone when he saw the motorcade, is heard saying excitedly, “no, seriously. He’s just drove past!”
