I'm John Batchel with my colleague Gregory Copley of Defense and Foreign Affairs, and this is the King Charles report.

And I report that there's a photograph I'm looking at from Great Britain of the king in his what appears to be marine uniform.

I love the fact that he gets to wear different uniforms, Gregory.

King Charles delivers landmark speech as he returns to the Royal Marine Center where he trained. I had no

knowledge whatsoever that Charles trained as a commando. Have you been to this center, Gregory?

Yes, I have, and I was in fact inducted as an honorary member of 4-2 Royal Marine Commando

in the days when the commandos were

fighting out in Borneo in the confrontasi conflict between the United Kingdom and Indonesia

at the time. So I've got my green beret stashed away for honorary meetings, but it's a tough

course at Limston. And the king, as you say, was there in his

full regalia as not only head of the armed forces, but he is specifically commandant general

of the Royal Marines. Now, this was a position which King George I first had, but it was also passed down through the Duke of Edinburgh

to Prince Harry, who had to give it up when he gave up his British residency.

And so the king took it back up because it's a very, very prestigious title.

And the king was clearly, absolutely delighted to meet with the primary training groups

at Limston and named some of them as kings with the king's badge which is a highly significant

token of honor which the royal Royal Marines are given within,

then they wear it on their sleeve for the rest of their career.

So this was the first time that the king was able to present the badge, the king's badge,

since King George of the 6th did in 1939.

But it's something which King Charles was thoroughly delighted to do.

You can see in all the photographs of his discussions with the various Royal Marines
