A ROYAL fan was so delighted to meet King Charles today she leant in to give him a kiss.
His Majesty, 73, was cheered by thousands of well-wishers as he arrived with Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace today.
There were shouts of "God save the King" and "thank you Charles" as the monarch arrived at the Palace for the first time as king.
Many hailed "we love you Charles," while chants of "hip hip hooray" rang out from the crowd.
One woman went so far as to plant a peck on the monarch's hand while another kissed him on the cheek.
And Charles did not appear to mind, as he graciously thanked well-wishers who lined up to meet him.

There are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting a member of the Royal Family, although a bow of the neck for men, a small curtsey for women, or a hand shake is typically used.
Before entering the Palace today, Charles and Camilla walked by the hundreds of floral tributes left for Queen Elizabeth at the Palace gates.
Charles appeared amazed at the volume of tributes left, gesturing the scale with his arms to Camilla.
The King has now begun his first day as the nation's monarch after a 70-year wait for the throne.
He was pictured leaving Balmoral for London this morning, where he will hold his first audience with the Prime Minister Liz Truss.
