Prince Charles hails 'tremendous' Notting Hill Carnival on visit

Heir to the throne Prince Charles acknowledged it isn’t just the Queen who is above him as he greeted 12ft stilt-walkers in Notting Hill today.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall visited performing arts venue The Tabernacle in West London to meet performers in this year’s Notting Hill Carnival – the first since 2019.

Among the performers were Moko Jumbie stilt walkers who towered over the royals.

Polite as ever, Charles, 73, greeted them with a handshake despite technically bending royal protocol to do – as the heir of the throne only looks up to the Queen.
