A Kiwi confectionery company says it is "delighted" after one of its products was spotted in King Charles' car.
A bag of RJ's licorice was seen tucked in a compartment of the King's car as he emerged from the back seat, highlighted in a video posted by the company.
RJ's posted the video to social media, with the caption: “Turns out RJ’s Licorice is fit for a king.”
A spokesperson for the Levin-based company told 1News: "We were just as delighted as everyone else to spot a pack of RJ’s Black Licorice in the background of the recent video."
While they were unable to speak on the specifics of the moment, they said the company's UK distributor hosted a Waitangi Day celebration a few years ago, attended by Queen Camilla.
She reportedly left with a selection of RJ's products.
"RJ’s is proudly New Zealand-made, so it’s always special to see our licorice travelling the world, and perhaps even finding its way into royal circles.
"We’re thrilled that this has sparked so much excitement back home."
RJ’s Confectionery was founded by Roger Halliwell and his son, Regan James (RJ) in Levin in 1995 and offers a range of licorice and chocolates.
