His Majesty was meeting volunteers at King’s House, a community hub in King’s Cross, North London, and later attended an advent service at the nearby Ethiopian Christian Fellowship Church.
During his visit, he was offered a cup of tea to which he cheerfully responded: “Oh why not! Hopefully I won’t spill it!”.
Lead Pastor of the King’s Cross Church, The Reverend Pete Hughes, thanked the King for attending before Charles then unveiled a plaque officially opening King’s House.
Before leaving, he said: “Can I wish everybody as blessed a Christmas as possible for you all. I am so impressed by all the wonderful things that have happened here in every corner of the building.
“I find it wonderful that you take such trouble and make such a difference to so many people’s lives so I can only thank you rather inadequately for that. Bless you.”
The trip out came just hours after his son Prince Harry seemingly took a savage dig at him in the new show.
In an apparent jibe at his father, Harry claimed he was “brought up” by friends in Africa.
He said: “I’ve got a second family out there. A group of friends that literally brought me up.”
The couple released the controversial new series at 8am this morning.
