On Friday, the 99th day of his reign, King Charles III dances with Anne Frank's stepsister, Eva Schloss, during a celebration of Chanukah, whilst visiting a Jewish community centre in north London.

Charles spent the afternoon at the JW3 community centre speaking to school children packing presents and food hampers for families around Camden, refugees baking biscuits, and survivors of the Holocaust.

Schloss, 93, is now British but was born in Vienna. She was one month older than Anne Frank and lived in the same Amsterdam apartment complex as her. Like Anne Frank and her family, she was captured by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz. Schloss's father and brother died in Auschwitz but she and her mother survived, but were barely alive when rescued by the Soviets.
