King Charles III comes face to face with new banknotes ahead of release (UK)

King Charles came face to face with his own face on the new banknotes which will go into circulation in June. At Buckingham Palace, the King was presented with the first of the new £5, £10, £20 and £50 banknotes which will show his portrait. It follows the tradition of the monarch receiving the first issues of new banknotes. The existing banknotes, from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, will continue to be used alongside the new notes. King Charles has not been taking part in big public engagements since his cancer diagnosis, but has continued his participation in private events, such as this meeting where he was shown the banknotes by Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England.
