This gesture was especially significant for King Charles III, a devoted admirer of Shakespeare and the President of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1991, a role he assumed while still the Prince of Wales. His fondness for the author's literature even made him perform in Shakespeare plays while studying in college.
