King Charles was pulled for a chat by Love Island's Maya Jama who reminded him that she once broke royal protocol by touching him at a Princes' Trust event. As well as discussing past meetings, the pair also spoke about whether King Charles had seen the dating show Love Island and what it entailed. According to the Daily Mail, Maya told the royal about filming 'snogs' in Spain. She said: 'It's a reality show called Love Island. I host Love Island. I don’t know if you watch that though. That’s like a reality dating show. That’s what I do."
