'Tis the season to be brolly with Charles

WHAT could Prince Charles and Camilla be saying to each other as they erupt into a fit of giggles?

The moment of royal mirth obviously struck a chord with the couple because they have chosen this picture for their official Christmas card this year – even though the incident took place in the height of summer.

They were in St Mawes in Cornwall in July for the naming ceremony of a new ferry – The Duchess of Cornwall – which ­carries passengers across the River Fal between the ­picturesque fishing port and Falmouth.

As Camilla did the honours, the Saint Piran flag (the black and white flag of Cornwall) became snagged in the dome-shaped umbrella she held to protect her from a summer downpour.

The result was an image of instant glee, as the royal couple gazed into each other’s eyes.

We thought it was the perfect subject for a competition, and invite Sunday Express readers to submit captions suggesting what Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall might have been saying or thinking.

The funniest will win a prize.

Mark your entries “Sunday Express Christmas Card Caption Competition” and send them to: The Newsdesk, Sunday Express, The Northern & Shell Building, 10 Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6EN.

The card is not only unseasonal, it also involves a little bit of digital trickery. To make it work, officials removed a host of spectators who had been watching the unveiling from the upper deck.

The card will be sent to charitable ­volunteers, friends and supporters who have helped the Prince and Duchess.

Last year’s Christmas card photograph showed the royal couple smiling as they listened to a Welsh male voice choir in Ystradgynlais, Powys.
