Walker repeated his question, after which the Prince’s eyes twinkled, and he replied, “Where?”
The unscripted moment caused the crowd, including the royal, to burst into laughter as Charles added: “You’ll have to recommend somewhere.” Speaking of the legendary exchange in an interview with Jam Press, Walker of Birmingham admitted that the incident is something he could talk about for the rest of his life.
Walker added: “I had only finished work and was walking to meet my mates for a drink, where I was minding my 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,” Walker, according to NyPost, stated. “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 alleged the exchange made him like Charles even more because he saw his human side.
He also revealed that Charles’s security detail eventually informed him to wait as the royal wanted to meet him.
“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 [a British slang for someone from Birmingham and wished me all the best. 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.”
The digital marketing employee hopes Charles will honor his invitation in the future.
He continued: “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.” So far, the encounter has earned the monarch fans on TikTok as one person wrote: “The future king has time for people.” Another exclaimed: “Love seeing some humanity in him, very quick good to see.” While a third stated: “He’s winning me over.”
A few shared similar informal exchanges with the monarch, with one saying: “He has the sense of humor as his mum.”
Another wrote: “Fortunate enough to have met him twice, and in private, he’s so down to earth and funny.” A third claimed: “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.” However, Queen Elizabeth II showcased she had a good sense of humor when she epically trolled two US tourists who didn’t know her castle.
