Charles fulfilled every little boy's dream today by driving a train - specifically a London Underground train at Bombardier.
He looked pleased as punch about it too
He looks like a kid on Christmas morning......
Whilst the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge all marked St.David's Day with a spot of tea in London, Prince Charles was out trying his hand at paintballing. And he proved an excellent marksman, hitting the target repeatedly with just one hand.
@ Daria- Wonder how he'd do with the cross-bow?!
Imagine that! You read my mind! And then we could have pics of the lessons you see....I think he'd do just fine :wink:. He could learn from Robert Hardy, who's an expert .

And be given a bit more sunshine.... that we never tire of!
I think.... no I know, ( due to the humor of the people involved) that it would be priceless!Oh, what a treat that would be. I'd love to see that actually happen.
I agree the photos are hilarious.
What annoys me, though, is that Charles said that he'd already been paintballing with William and Harry. Why do we never hear about those sorts of things? I suppose the media is just more interested in him talking to tress etc. etc.
What a friendly Prince!Nobody told me the defence cuts were THIS bad! Prince Charles looks at home while trying his hand at the paintball range
Prince Charles looks positively fierce in this picture!
I agree Daria, but the press paint Charles as this old curmudgeon totally out of touch with the modern world. Well, people like that don't go paint balling with their sons!
I really adore this photo *look at the guy behind Charles*
Oh my Goodness, Your Royal Highness, what are you doing?!
The palace's official Flickr account has more pictures of Charles visiting the Welsh Guards. Personally, I adore this picture. Was the little girl showing Charles the bear or actually giving it to him as a gift?

My thoughts exactly!What a lovely picture!
I think she's giving it to the Prince; the bear is very appropriately dressed for the occasion!
