Pubs are also allowed to reopen in England. To celebrate the day, Prince Charles even lifted his mask to take a sip of beer.
Prince Charles (72) lifted his mask in the Prince of Wales Pub named after him in Clapham, a southern London suburb, to take a long sip of beer. Before that, he’d poured himself a glass of Sambrook’s Bitter and joked about how fun it would be to go to every Prince of Wales pub in the country for a “free drink”. With the enjoyable action during his visit with his wife, Duchess Camilla (73), in the small town, he celebrated that more and more shops can reopen after the nationwide corona lockdown.
As the British “Express” reports on, the pub staff are said to have been impressed by Charles’ tap skills. “I think that is probably enough or would you say there is more?”, The son of Queen Elizabeth II (95) is said to have finished the pouring process. Camilla and the staff then watched in amusement as the prince tried to drink a beer while wearing a mask.
A master at the tap
Bar host Dermot Connell said it was exciting that “the Prince of Wales is coming to the Prince of Wales”. And he added: “It is good that he is going out and showing people that it is now safe to be in the pubs again.” Connell also told the paper that they first thought they had to urge Prince Charles to pour beer. “But he volunteered,” he said happily. When asked if the royal had enjoyed his drink, Connell said with British understatement, “He seemed to like it.”
The post about Charles and Camilla’s pub on her Instagram page “Clarence House” also liked the couple’s followers. With more than 40,000 likes, he collected almost twice as many as usual.
