Prince Charles was shown a different kind of throne during a surprise visit to Northern Ireland on Wednesday!

Charles, 71, and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, 73, traveled to Belfast to carry out a series of engagements and pay tribute to frontline workers amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. While at the Ulster Museum, the couple was shown a special willow Iron Throne that was made for a party to celebrate the premiere of the final season of Game of Thrones. Filming of the hit show, which concluded in May 2019, took place in several locations around Northern Ireland.

The future heir, who arrived in a mask made by artisans of the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, an Afghanistan-based charity set up by the royal, looked amused as he stood in front of the structure, which was made by local Bob Johnson of Bob’s Baskets.

And when they met GoT actor Tom Wlaschiha, (who plays Jaqen H’ghar) during a visit to Berlin, they reportedly tried to get a few spoilers out of him.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip also toured the set of Game of Thrones in Northern Ireland in 2014. The monarch was led into the throne room where she met cast members and came face-to-face with the Iron Throne (but she declined an invitation to test it out!).
