Charles, 72, put himself among artefacts from the Bronze Age and Iron Age for his first ever visit to the Museum.

He examined a display grave with a woman in a wooden coffin placed withing a rock.

Charles said: “I am fascinated by all these things. First time I have visited.

“I never had a chance to see it before. I am fascinated by it.”

Earlier this month, Charles and Camilla reunited with the Queen, Kate Middleton and Prince William for the first time in nine months.

They were also joined by Edward, Sophie and Princess Anne.

The royal family remained socially distanced during the event.

It was the first time the royals have been able to gather for an official event together since lockdown.
