Prince Charles

Prince Charles

Britain's Prince Charles doesn't understand Scottish people when they're drunk.

The 65-year-old Royal is an ambassador for the Scottish arm of the Prince's Trust and he attended the charity's awards ceremony in London on Wednesday (14.03.14) where he met stand-up comedian Des Clarke and joked that he struggles to understand Scots' drunken slurs.

Des told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was the first time I've met the prince and it was fantastic.

"It was so funny because I said I was from Glasgow and he said, 'I know, I can tell by your accent'. And I said, 'Are you OK with the Scottish accent?' He said 'Oh, yes, fantastic. Until you've had a couple of drinks'. So he said 'I'll make sure that I don't speak to you after five o'clock.'

"He was very charming."

The Prince of Wales met a number of other celebrities at the 10th annual awards ceremony in London's Leicester Square including Joan Collins, Dominic West, Jeremy Irons and Sir Ben Kingsley.

Danielle Fisher - who was presented with the Breakthrough Award for overcoming her suicidal thoughts and going on to work in a children's home to support others - praised the heir to the throne during her acceptance speech.

She said: "It's amazing knowing people like Prince Charles want to support you."
