A FETCHING four-legged friend has been called ‘Chaz’, a nod to King Charles III’s coronation on Saturday.

Students and staff at the University of Reading were given the opportunity to name a baby llama which had been born at one of its farms on Friday, April 14, to its mother Nimbus.

The cria, as baby llamas are known, could have been named Chaz, Charles or Charlie.

Votes were cast on the university’s social media channels and Chaz came out on top with a resounding 52% of the total 1,879 votes.

Charlie was second with 35% and Charles last with 13%.
