may be one of the most famous royals in the world, however behind-closed-doors he is not too different from everyone else.

While the monarch, 76, has plenty of responsibilities to be taken seriously, it is believed that the King also has a very good sense of humour, giving him an ability to get on very well with members of the public when he meets them.

One of the best examples of this was a chat the King had with a man when he was the Prince of Wales. During a visit to Birmingham’s Victoria Square after being at the Commonwealth Games in August 2022, Charles was asked by local man Daniel Walker if he was set to go out for a drink.

A video of the encounter showed Daniel shouting: “Charles, Charles, are you going to go for a beer?”

The then-prince was seen turning around as he replied: “What?”

When Daniel asks him again, Charles says: “Where?” leaving the crowds cracking up. Daniel replied: “Anywhere, Albert’s Schloss?” with Charles saying: “Thank you so much.”

While many saw this as a quick joke-led conversation, it was reported by BirminghamLive that the monarch was left amused by the comment and even spent time after meeting other members of the public speaking to Daniel more.

Daniel told “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.”

Daniel continued: “He said ‘Good luck with your ventures’. 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.”

The sense of humour held by King Charles was also once mentioned by his former butler Grant Harrold, who served Charles between 2004 and 2011.

: “He used to be so much fun and do so many funny things.”
