Security jitters saw King Charles and Queen Camilla hustled out of a public event on the island of Jersey on Monday, as the global protection industry reels from the fallout of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
In a sobering reminder of the precarious relationship between the public engagement of the monarchy and their safety in an unpredictable world, the king and queen were attending an art exhibit in the capital of the island, St. Helier, when members of their security team cut short the visit and whisked them away to the sanctuary of a nearby hotel.
Children who had been scheduled to meet the royals at the exhibition were instead taken to the hotel so that they did not miss out on the encounter.
