King Charles always amuses us with his witty reactions during public engagements. Case in point: cast your mind back to last autumn when the monarch had the funniest reaction to 116-year-old Ethel Caterham when she told him "all the girls were in love with you".
Charles visited Ethel at her care home in Lightwater, Surrey, shortly after bidding a formal farewell to US President Donald Trump during the US state visit at Windsor.

While talking about a previous investiture in 1969, Mrs Caterham said: "All the girls were in love with you and wanted to marry you." The remark prompted a hearty laugh from the King and a raise of his eyebrows.
One of Ethel's granddaughters, Kate Henderson, added: "You were saying that the other day, weren't you? You said 'Prince Charles was so handsome. All the girls were in love with him.' A true prince – and now the King." Charles, who responded with a playful grimace, quipped: "Yes, well, all that's left of him anyway."
