The Prince of Wales couldn't contain his giggles as he attempted to drink a pint while wearing a face mask during a visit to a Clapham pub on Thursday.
Prince Charles, 72, and the Duchess of Cornwall, 73, travelled to Clapham Old Town in south London to celebrate the reopening of non-essential shops as COVID-19 restrictions were eased earlier this month.
The royal couple popped into Charles' namesake pub, The Prince of Wales, where the future King enthusiastically pulled a pint behind the bar. Camilla laughed as her husband lifted up his face covering to sample the pint of Sambrook's Brewery 'Wandle' beer.
Charles also joked that he always thought it would be rather fun to visit every Prince of Wales pub in the country - and get a free drink!
Pub landlord Dermot Connell said it was exciting to have "the Prince of Wales coming to the Prince of Wales", adding: "It's good that he's getting out and about and showing people it's now safe again to be in the pubs."
The pair also met Omnibus Theatre staff, before walking down the high street, passing a number of independent shops and businesses, including Birkesen Florist. Charles and Camilla concluded their walk at Clapham Fire Station where they greeted firefighters and thanked them for their service.
