Fan asks King Charles III to go for a beer; hilarious reply takes internet by storm

A throwback video of King Charles III has taken the internet by storm in which a fan can be seen asking him to go out for a beer.

The footage was captured during opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games 2022 at Birmingham, United Kingdom. The Twitter user @JamesHesp put a short video on his profile.

The first scene in the video is the then Prince of Wales waving to onlookers. After a while, a guy in the back approaches him and says, "Charles, may we go for a beer?"

The prince interacted with him, asking him, "Where?". Charles then laughs and gestures toward his new companions. When asked where they should go, he responds, "You'll have to recommend somewhere."

 

Throw back to when a random bloke asked King Charles to go for a beer. 😆

Queen Elizabeth, the former head of state of the UK and Head of the Commonwealth of Nations, passed away on September 8 at the age of 96.

Charles, the Queen's first born, became king immediately after her death on Thursday, but a historic meeting formally confirmed his role on Saturday during the ceremony at St James's Palace. The Accession Council, a body made up of senior politicians, judges and officials, proclaimed him as the monarch in the State Apartments.
