During Prince Charles visit to Bugthorpe in East Yorkshire today, local resident Robert Barrett was one of the first to greet the Prince, saying "Morning Grandad".
This reportedly raised a chuckle from Charles. "He obviously likes being a grandad," Mr Barrett said.
A young boy also asked the Prince: "When's the little baby coming?" to which Charles replied: "We haven't been able to bring him yet."
Many people asked whether the new baby had a name, but Charles gave little away.
