King Charles was spotted with a hand injury as he left England to travel to Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
His Majesty travelled alongside Queen Camilla to the country's capital city Belfast to meet with local communities and business owners.
However, the monarch was seen with a huge plaster on the index finger of his right hand.
It is not known how King Charles, 76, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, acquired the minor injury.

GB News has approached Buckingham Palace for comment.
The monarch is known to keep an active lifestyle, enjoying gardening and long country walks.
He joked about getting older during a visit to Australia in 2018, telling a crowd in Brisbane: “I don’t know about you, but now bits of me keep falling off at regular intervals.”
The King has long joked about his "sausage fingers" on previous occasions.

During rehearsals for his Coronation last year, as Prince William struggled to fasten a ceremonial robe, his father told him not to worry as he doesn’t have “sausage fingers” like his father.
Although, when William was born in 1982, the King wrote to a friend: “He really does look surprisingly appetising and has sausage fingers just like mine.”
King Charles also underwent various polo injuries in his youth, for example, in 1980 he required six stitches on his cheek after being thrown and kicked by his horse during a match at Windsor.
In 1990, he broke his right arm in a fall during another match and underwent several operations.

In 1992, another polo injury resulted in an operation to repair torn cartilage in his left knee.
Despite these injuries, Charles continued playing polo until 2005, at the age of 57.
During their trip to Belfast today, the King and Queen will meet groups of people, including representatives from tourism, hospitality and the arts, with a backdrop of local music.
Their Majesties will also have the opportunity to speak to business owners, including the creator of the umbrellas, local tour guides and florists before proceeding to Sea Holly Gallery.
