King Charles has been praised for the way he "thrives on connecting with people from all backgrounds", following the premiere of the monarch's documentary, Finding Harmony: A King's Vision.
The King mixed with several A-list celebrities on the night, but today was out and about, making an unexpected visit to runners who were taking part in a local Sandringham parkrun.
"Monarchy has always had a certain type of magnetism, but we're certainly seeing a more informal style of 'social court' in that sense," a royal source told The Times.
It continued: "The King is not throwing the baby out with the royal bath water when it comes to tradition and ceremony, but equally, he thrives on connecting with people from all backgrounds on a human level, and the Harmony film shows that."

"He's certainly not interested in celebrity for fame's sake, but rather in expertise and enthusiasm."
Charles's documentary, set to be released on Prime Video next month, focuses on the King's environmental campaign, despite years of fierce criticism.
It looks back at the King's philosophy and lifelong commitment to green issues.
The 90-minute film shows His Majesty urging people to take a more serious approach to the climate, with mankind "actually destroying our means to survival".

He hopes there will be greater awareness of the issue, with a "need to bring things back together again".
In new footage, the King explained: "I just felt this was the approach that I was going to stick to. A course I set, and I wasn't going to be diverted from."
Charles previously warned that the approach to climate change is "rapidly going backwards," sharing his concerns.
He said: "People don't seem to understand it's not just climate that's the problem - it's also biodiversity loss, so we're actually destroying our means of survival, all the time."

"Maybe, by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil, there might be a little more awareness… of the need to bring things back together again."
A spokesman for the King said the film was "not a conventional royal documentary".
"There are no golden carriages here; no glittering crowns or crimson robes.
"Instead, this is a deeply personal exploration of ideas that have shaped His Majesty's life and work: the interconnectedness of all things, the wisdom of traditional knowledge, and the belief that we can build a future that works in partnership with nature rather than against it," the spokesman added.
