King Charles would have shocked the late Queen Elizabeth II with a sweet move he made which broke royal protocol.

Royal expert Angela Levin revealed the moves Charles made in his first year on the throne which broke royal protocol, during a chat with GB News but said they made him "even more caring and accessible" to the British public.

Levin said one significant decision made by the King when speaking with two children at a London cancer centre would "shock" his late mother.

She told GB News: "It was very interesting to see that he's also broken a few things that the Queen would be quite shocked about and one of these was outside, there were two young children.

"They'd both had cancer and they gave a posy to him and a posy to Queen Camilla, and he came out with a big bag of presents, and he passed it to them, and he wanted to give them something in return."

She added: "And that stuck with me because I thought that is an amazing thing to do, because they will keep whatever's in it, I was dying to see if maybe they would open it up, but they didn't, what a delightful thing to do, because you keep that forever."

Traditionally, royal protocol dictates that royals can only receive gifts from the public, not give them.

The royal expert said the King's cancer diagnosis has also helped him create a "very different image" of himself as a monarch.

She added: "They've really become very, very accessible and very close. And I think the cancer has made the King even more wanting to talk to his people and caring about them."

Levin said that previously Charles and Camilla believed "nobody would be there" to support them following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and were surprised to find crowds of fans outside Buckingham Palace.

She told the broadcaster: "I think it's been a long and a short year, somehow. But the year where it all began when he became much more easy to be with people, was actually after the death of the late Queen, and they came back to Buckingham Palace."
