Prince Charles committed to a daily walking routine, yet his path led him by a particular corner where a prostitute consistently offered her services. With time, he developed a mental readiness for this encounter, foreseeing the familiar sequence that would follow.

“£150!” she would call out.

In response, he would discreetly mutter, “No, £5,” just hoping to deter her.

This exchange between them evolved into a daily ritual.

“£150!”

And his consistent retort, “No, £5!”

One day, Prince Charles’s wife, Camilla, decided to accompany him on his walk. Approaching the corner where the prostitute usually stood, he apprehended that the usual £150 proposal would raise Camilla’s suspicions about his past interactions.

As they drew nearer to the spot, his unease grew. There she was, positioned as always. Prince Charles attempted to avoid eye contact, aware of her observation as they passed.
