King Charles once gave a hilarious response to one royal fan who asked him if he would like to join him for a cold pint during an engagement.

The heartwarming encounter took place in July 2022, just weeks before Queen Elizabeth's death in September, in Birmingham.

Charles, as Prince of Wales, was visiting Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games and was greeting wellwishers in Victoria Square when one royal fan, asked him the question.

Daniel Walker was on his way to meet his friends at the pub and decided to invite the now-King along.

He was recorded saying: "Charles, Charles, are you going to go for a beer?" with the monarch replying "What" as he didn't quite make out what he was being asked.

The fan repeated the question, with now the King replying enthusiastically: "Where?" which prompted the crowd to burst into laughter.

Mr Walker answered: "Anywhere, Albert's Schloss?" with Charles saying: "Thank you so much."

But that wasn't the only encounter Mr Walker had with the monarch.

He recalled to Birmingham Live: "I walked around and I could see his security guard wanted to speak to me.

"I introduced myself and he said if you hang out here you can chat to him. I waited around five minutes and Prince Charles came over and asked me what I did and shook my hand.

"He said 'Good luck with your ventures'."

Mr Walker said the sweet encounter completely changed his view of the royals.

He explained: "It's changed my view of Prince Charles. I thought the Royal Family was stuck up. I am all about laughs and jokes. My mates thought I was lying."
