King Charles is seemingly no stranger to treating himself to a beer when travelling around the UK and further afield on royal duties.
So it's no wonder that one keen royal fan invited Charles out for a pint while he was once on his travels - and the monarch left the crowds in stitches with his quick and witty one-word response.
The incident took place in August 2022, while Charles was still Prince of Wales. As we reported, he was visiting Birmingham's Victoria Square after being at the Commonwealth Games.
As he was spotted making his way through the crowds, a local man named Daniel Walker who was on his way to meet some pals for a drink took the opportunity to ask the royal to join him.
A video of the encounter shows Daniel shouting: "Charles, Charles, are you going to go for a beer?"
Charles then turns round and replies: "What?" and when Daniel repeats himself, he cheekily replies: "Where?" leaving the other well-wishers in fits of laughter.
Daniel then suggests: "Anywhere, Albert's Schloss?" with Charles saying: "Thank you so much."
