Fans Are Emotional After Seeing King Charles React To Historical Footage Of Himself At 26 Years Old: ‘He Has A Great Sense Of Humor’

King Charles is looking back on his younger days after making an announcement that he’s scaling back on his cancer treatment, and the internet can’t get over it.

As part of a new television special, the monarch looked back at footage of him from when he went on an adventurous trip to the Arctic in 1975, when he was 26 years old. The king had both fond and wild memories of the trip, and the Royal Family X account shared footage of him commenting on his trip. Internet users weighed in with comments on Charles’ sense of humor as they enjoyed him reminiscing on older times. Read more about what he had to say below.

This week, the UK television channel ITV shared a video for an upcoming television special starring broadcaster and author Steve Backshall, where he takes on a challenge that King Charles did back in 1975. The video includes footage of the trip to the Canadian Arctic the monarch took that year, when he was 26 years old, riding a Ski-Doo or snowmobile through the tundra.

As a special treat, Steve recently sat down with the king and showed him the footage of himself, capturing his reaction in real time.

“Can you remember the sensation?” Steve asks as Charles watches the footage of himself on the snowmobile.

“Frozen,” he responds while laughing. “I lost all sensation of feeling in my hands and everything. But yeah, it was quite exciting.”
