Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney welcomed King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort of Britain on Friday as co-owners of the Wrexham AFC soccer club in Wales, Entertainment Tonight reported. Gathered on the pitch, the four took photos, shook hands and laughed together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWelcome to Wrexham Season 2: Charles in Charge,\u201d Reynolds later tweeted<\/a> alongside a photo of him and the king.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reynolds had never met McElhenney when he messaged the \u201cIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia\u201d actor about acquiring the team during the 2020 lockdowns. They did just that in 2021, however, and filmed the process for the Disney+ docuseries \u201cWelcome to Wrexham.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou really have to watch Welcome to Wrexham for this to make sense,\u201d McElhenney tweeted<\/a> Friday alongside a photo of the four. \u201cAnd even then, it still [might not] make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reynolds previously told Yahoo the two actors acquired Wrexham, the world’s third-oldest professional soccer club, to lead an underdog team to victory. While meeting kings and queens surely didn’t factor in, sources told ET the royals agreed to be filmed for the series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI had the opportunity to see one of the other wonders of Wrexham, namely the football club, which is busy putting Wrexham on the map as never before,\u201d said Charles in a speech later that day, ET reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAnd, of course, this comes after the Welsh national team has brought unprecedented international recognition to Wales through qualifying for the World Cup,\u201d the newly crowned king continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Reynolds is riding high after the People’s Choice Awards this week, the royal family has been fielding questions about Thursday’s release of \u201cHarry & Meghan\u201d \u2014 a Netflix documentary series about royal life from Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The series has already sparked controversy. A Buckingham Palace source told HuffPost that Netflix had made no attempt to contact the royal family about it. The streamer itself, meanwhile, said that both Charles and Prince William’s offices had been contacted beforehand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey really don’t want to be drawn into it for the simple fact that they don’t want to give an already much-hyped docuseries even more oxygen or publicity,\u201d royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET. \u201cSo, I think if they can ride this out without being drawn into it, then that’s probably the strategy.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
