#Supermarket worker collapses in front of Prince Charles: video

This is the startling moment a British supermarket worker went down like a sack of potatoes in front of Prince Charles.

The employee of the Asda retailer was speaking with the Prince of Wales at a supermarket distribution center in Bristol on Thursday when he began swaying before dropping to the ground, the Independent reported.

Charles, 71, reached out to the man but not in time to stop him from plunging backward.

“Dear, oh dear,” he said as people rushed to help the worker.

It was unclear why the man fell, but he soon recovered and met Charles again.

“Thank you very much, sir,” the man told the royal, chuckling.

Charler and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, visited the center to thank workers for their efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.

“I think it’s fantastic that the prince and duchess have taken the time out to come and meet colleagues,” said Chris Tilly, the general manager of the center.

“Every single colleague that they saw they thanked for what they had done during the last 14 weeks, which I was truly humbled by,” Tilly said.

Charles, the heir to the throne, contracted COVID-19 in late March and self-isolated at Clarence House in Scotland.
