Prince Charles drinking beer on the job – a career in pictures

PRINCE Charles might have scarfed the cherry brandy when he was a bairn, but as an adult Charles prefers the beer. It’s always a pint. It’s always served in full view of the photographers. Camilla, if she’s there, also has a pint. It’s nice work if you can get it. The lunchtime drink was once the mainstay of British working life. It’s gone, replaced by a smart water, coffee and packaged sandwiches consumed at your work pod. Cheers, ears:
