King Charles takes command of Challenger 2 tank during regiment visit — photo 1 of 4

King Charles III climbed aboard a British Army tank and took the commander's seat during his first official visit to the Royal Tank Regiment. The 77-year-old monarch strapped on a helmet and headset, riding in a Challenger 2 tank at Bovington Camp in Dorset, popping out of the turret in sunglasses and a tie as the 60-ton war machine kicked up dust.
