Charles enjoyed a scoop of vanilla at the family-run Brucciani’s ice cream shop in Morecambe, Lancashire, on Friday.
Amelia Brucciani, 16, who served the prince, said: “It is massively exciting.”
Her father Paolo added: “This cafe was opened in 1939, the week before the Second World War, by my grandfather.
