King Charles, despite his royal status, possesses a surprising sense of humor that endears him to the public. This was evident during a visit to Birmingham's Victoria Square, where a local man named Daniel Walker jokingly asked the then-Prince of Wales if he was going for a beer. Charles' witty response, "Where?" elicited laughter from the crowd.
This seemingly casual exchange extended beyond a quick joke. According to BirminghamLive, Charles was amused by the comment and spent additional time speaking with Daniel after meeting other members of the public. Daniel recounted, "He said 'Good luck with your ventures'. It's changed my view of Prince Charles. I thought the Royal Family was stuck up. I am all about laughs and jokes. My mates thought I was lying."
Charles' humor was further corroborated by his former butler, Grant Harrold, who served him between 2004 and 2011. Harrold remarked, "He used to be so much fun and do so many funny things." These anecdotes paint a picture of a king who, despite his official duties, retains a genuine sense of humor and enjoys lighthearted interactions with the public.

Humor is nice, but it doesn’t change the fact that the royal family is disconnected from the public.

I love seeing this lighter side of him! It makes him feel more human.

In my opinion, he should focus on his responsibilities instead of cracking jokes.

No amount of jokes can make him relatable when he represents such a privileged institution.
Comandante
This interaction shows that he is approachable and cares about connecting with the public.

It's easy to joke around when you're living in a palace and have everything handed to you.

Royal humor? That's just a distraction from the real problems facing the monarchy.

His ability to joke around shows he’s down-to-earth. More of this, please!

These little moments remind us that royals are human too. Keep it up, Charles!

I see through this facade. Humor doesn't change the outdated institution he represents.

Jokes won't save the monarchy from its declining relevance in modern society.
