King Charles has had his fair share of hilarious public mishaps, from his leaking pen, through to being surprised by a flying bird, but this unearthed clip shows His Majesty struggling with a telephone.
The vintage video is of the royal when he was a tot, and shows him toddling around outside as well as another moment where he is playing with a corded telephone.
The voice over is Charles himself explaining that he recalls when he was younger that he would use the telephone to try and speak to his mother when she was "miles away" overseas.
During the adorable candid moment, where he played with the phone, Charles can also be seen mouthing the word: "Mummy," wondering where his beloved mother had gone.
"Oh wow this really touched my heart, you can see Archie and William in his little face! Oh my goodness and those sweet little clothes," wrote one fan under the video which was shared by fan account @yourroyalhistorian.

In his first public address after the sad news, Charles said of his mother: "We owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example."
