Charles, 73, left wife Camilla in stitches as he struggled to pour his stout and was then left with froth on his nose after being too eager to drink it. The couple, who will tour Ireland next week, got in some practice at the Irish Cultural Centre in west London, ahead of St Patrick’s Day tomorrow.
