Prince Charles caused chaos at one of the capital’s best known street markets when he staged a walkabout with the chancellor Rishi Sunak.
Hundreds of people gathered by East Street market off the Walworth Road to catch a glimpse of the prince as he greeted well-wishers during a visit to meet young people who have benefited from a job creation scheme supported by the Prince’s Trust.
To shouts of “God bless you, Prince Charles!” and “How’s your mum?” he was immediately surrounded by a throng of people all brandishing mobile phone cameras or trying to shake his hand.
