Stories on “GMA” will include Rulli live from Caernarfon Castle in Wales, Longman live from Poundbury with a piece on King Charles’ interest in environmental issues, and Spencer live from Dumfries House in Scotland, giving viewers a look at the house King Charles saved for the nation and how he’s trying to open up the monarchy to the public.
