The cheeky comment came when the Royal Family visited Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games. The bystander yelled, “Charles, can we have a beer.” In response, the Prince of Wales quipped, “Where? Recommend somewhere.”
Charles represented his mother, the Queen, at the sporting event.
This is because she is stepping back from royal duties due to her sporadic mobility issues.
The 96-year-old monarch is currently on her summer vacation in Balmoral, Scotland.
Prince Charles is on his way to join her at the estate after his performance at the Commonwealth Games.
The Queen likely watched the games from the comfort of her home, with royal commentator Robert Hardman speculating she must have been “delighted” to see the organizers pay tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh during part of the show.
The show’s opening ceremony celebrated Birmingham’s automotive industry, with 72 Birmingham-made cars being driven into the arena to form a Union Jack display.
A Land Rover – a car of which the Duke of Edinburgh was famous – stood in the center of the line-up with the number plate reading “HRH PP” – His Royal Highness Prince Philip.
Mr Hardman explained: “This was a tribute to the late Prince Philip, who famously went to his creator last year aboard a very similar vehicle.
“When I watch it all on television in Balmoral, I can safely say that the Queen must have been delighted.
“While absent from the proceedings, her lasting influence has been a recurring sight on the giant video screens, from past Commonwealth tours right through to her recent anniversary.”
Prince Charles and Camilla arrived at the ceremony in their vintage Aston Martin DB86.
The Queen appeared on a giant TV screen during the opening ceremony in a video highlighting her 70 years on the throne.
She also wrote a speech, which was delivered by Prince Charles during the ceremony.
She described the games as a “new adventure” and paid tribute to Birmingham, a city she says “has embraced so many in its history”.
The monarch praised the “rich diversity and unity of the Commonwealth”.
She said: “Over the years, the coming together of so many for the ‘Friendly Games’ has created memorable shared experiences, established long-lasting relationships and even created some friendly rivalries.
“But above all, they remind us of our bond with each other wherever we are in the world, as part of the Commonwealth family of nations.
“Tonight, in the words of the Games founder, we are embarking on a new adventure here in Birmingham.”
