KING Charles today beamed at guests at a Buckingham Palace garden party less than 24 hours after a man was arrested outside its gates.
The atmosphere today was a million miles away from last night after David Huber, 59, allegedly threw suspected shotgun cartridges onto the palace grounds.
He allegedly ranted “I’m going to kill the King” before being dragged away by cops.
It’s understood no royals were in the palace at the time however, the King and Queen consort were there earlier on in the day.
Now pictures have shown a relaxed Charles and Camilla greeting guests at a Garden Party to celebrate the forthcoming coronation.
Hundreds of people were seen lining the garden’s lawn while Charles chatted and joked with well-wishers.
The Firm is continuing life as normal despite safety concerns mounting.
Charles was seen earlier today after attending a coronation rehersal.
He appeared to be in high spirits as he waved at fans from his car.
Police were last night facing questions after witnesses told how the would-be attacker placed a bag by the gates.
The suspect reportedly threw a “number of items” out of the bag.
He was then arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon after he was searched and a knife was found.
Officers were forced to carry out a controlled explosion in sight of excited fans camping along The Mall ahead of Saturday.
It was understood the police were treating the matter as an isolated mental health incident.
Security for the historical event has been estimated to cost around £150million.
The operation will see thousands of officers deployed along with protection squads, air support and roof-top snipers.
Drones will also be used to monitor the crowds.
