Viral footage shows King Charles’ reaction to a fan asking him to go out for a pint.

The clip – filmed by Andrew Gould – has since circulated widely on social media, where many users pointed out that Charles’ sense of humour was apparently similar to that of his late mother. 

The video shows Charles waving to a crowd in the street, as fan Daniel Walker shouts to him: “Charles, do you want to go for a beer?”

Watch his eyes light up for a cold one: 

Amazingly, the royal engages, asking Walker to repeat the question – after which he says: “Where?” 

As the crowd laughs, Walker replies: “Anywhere!”

King Charles, also laughing, then points back to his new pal and says: “You’ll have to recommend somewhere.” 

King Charles appeared to love the exchange.

Walker, a senior e-commerce specialist from Birmingham, had met the then-Prince Charles at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony on 28 July 2022. 

“It’s something I could talk about for the rest of my life,” Walker told NeedToKnow.online.

“I think he’s going to be a good leader, as growing up, a lot of people I know benefited from the Prince’s Trust and after this stunt, it’s made me recognise all the hard work he’s done. 

“I had only finished work and was walking to meet my mates for a drink, where I was minding my own business – until I suddenly saw him. 

“I thought, if I’m going for a pint, perhaps I’ll ask if he wants one as well. 

“I think he thought he was getting heckled at first, as I was shouting his name and I’m quite tall, so the initial response was slightly rude. 

“But after I repeated myself, I couldn’t believe it as I didn’t think he would respond to me.”

Walker claims King Charles’ security also started laughing and asked him to wait around as the royal wanted to meet him. 

He continued: “I got to meet him after and shake his hand. He was about to walk off, but then saw me and put his hand out before asking what I did as a job. 

“He commented I was a ‘proper Brummie lad’ and wished me all the best. 

“It’s made me like him even more because I saw his human side.

“People don’t see all the good things he’s done, as they’re always looking for the negative – but I’ve got a lot of respect for him. 

“I hope he’s still up for that pint, as it’d be unbelievable. 

“It can be my treat as well, as a good luck on his new job.”

After it was shared on TikTok, the popular post racked up 8.5 million views and 700,000 likes – with users also flocking to the comments to share their own experiences of meeting the King. 

One person said: “He has the same sense of humour as his mum.” 

Someone else wrote: “Fortunate enough to have met him twice and in private he’s so down to earth and funny.” 

Another added: “Charles response ‘what’ spoken like a true royal.” 

A fourth said Charles was ‘winning’ them over, while a fifth noted how the ‘future king has time for people’. 

One other also wrote: “He’s really funny! Met him when I was 17 and asked if I could marry one of his sons. He said ‘take your pick'."
