Of course, the press were all present to capture my brush with royalty. ^^.

2 serious guys with earpieces fitted in and shiny badges.

Here comes their first outrider!

And here they are, getting out of their car.

Greeting their host, Professor Anzai, President of Keio University.

The royal couple, Prince Charles and Camilla.

They are coming this way!

Prince Charles has abit of a chat with some international high schoolers.

“I would love to stay and chat, but I’ve got to go meet ken over there.”

Unfortunately, it’s the case of “no one taking photos of me” again. If only I could clone myself. I shook both their hands and even engaged in a small chitchat. Wonder if I’ll ever get to meet them again…

They were going off to watch some cultural performance. I wasn’t allowed to follow though. While they were gone, I hanged around and took some shots of their car. 1.

2, 3 and P.

The security they came with. First time for me to see a Benz police car. Would love to have one of those. ^^.

After the performance, they come back out and it’s time to say bye bye.

Prince Charles gave us a wave and…

Off they go.

I got an informal invitation for this event since I was an international student from a commonwealth nation. Nothing fancy, but it guaranteed my position. ^^.

Yomiuri Online had a nice photo of me in their article.

Red stands out in a sea of black! ^^.
