King Charles was all smiles during the meeting after working with Deputy First Minister Angela Rayner for the special event.
The Queen met with representatives from the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit (SVRU), the King’s Foundation and the King’s Trust to discuss ways of tackling all forms of violence.
At the conference at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Charles, 75, heard insights into how the root causes of violence can be identified and how better support can be given to stop young people falling into crime.
Sitting next to the King was Minister for Equality, Housing and Communities Rayner (44) and the pair appeared to be on good terms, with Prince Charles bursting into laughter at the Deputy Prime Minister’s comments.
In another scene, the 75-year-old man appears to whisper something to Mr Rayner, who responds with a big smile.
They were also briefed on SVRU’s experience of using a public health approach to identify, understand and address the root causes of violence.
The organization is made up of police officers, civilian law enforcement personnel and experienced professionals who use data to analyze violence, seek to understand its causes and provide evidence-based solutions.
Panellists on the discussion included Rhys Hayes, Prince’s Trust Scotland Young Ambassador of the Year and the Trust’s Young Achiever of the Year for 2020;
