King Charles was left baffled by an interaction with Maya Jama at a Buckingham Palace Garden party.
Around 4,000 guests were invited to a party hosted by the King and Queen on Wednesday to celebrate the UK’s creative arts industry.
Amongst the famous faces was British television presenter and radio DJ Maya Jama who playfully spoke with the monarch.
Dressed in a blue checked dress and a matching wide-brimmed hat Jama told the King: “I host Love Island, I don’t know if you watch that though. That’s like a reality dating show. That’s what I do.”

The King, who didn’t seem familiar with the show, said “There’s One Born Every Minute,” in reference to the hit Channel 4 show which shows the drama of a maternity unit.
Jama responded: “There is, yeah.”
During the King and Jama’s introduction, the TV host said she would not break royal protocol by touching the King as she did before.
She said: “Nice to meet you. Well, I've actually met you before, a long time ago. About something with the Princes’ Trust and I touched you. I wasn’t supposed to. This time I won't.”

The King laughed and told her: “Don’t worry about it” to which she responded: “You don’t mind, yeah?”
According to the Royal Family website, there are "no obligatory codes of behaviour - just courtesy."
