Watch: King surprised by 'very healing' hug with rugby players

A New Zealand women's rugby player surprised King Charles III after asking him for a hug at a Buckingham Palace reception.

The King said "why not" after winger Ayesha Leti-I'iga made the request, and he was then affectionately mobbed by a group of players.

Afterwards he told the group "it was like being battered by a scrum".
