A playful royal moment stole the spotlight at the British embassy garden party on April 27, 2026, when King Charles unexpectedly encountered a comedian doing an impression of him. Read on to discover the full story!
Political comedian and impressionist Matt Friend, who hosts America Laughs on CNN, stood in the receiving line and leaned in as he shook the King's hand to attempt a posh British accent.
