The Prince of Wales has taken a back-seat ride in a solar powered Tuk-Tuk on his latest royal visit to India.
Charles took the rickshaw ride with a difference in the country's capital New Delhi.
Instead of taking one of the famously noisy vehicles, Charles opted for a quieter, battery-powered journey.
Charles, a prominent climate change campaigner, went for a spin in one of the three-wheeled vehicles during a visit to India’s equivalent of the UK's Met Office.
The heir to the British throne joked with his entourage, asking: “Are you going to run behind?” He then took the back seat where a cushion was placed.
The driver was a product of a programme, run by sustainable transport organisation SMV Green, which is training some of India’s first female rickshaw operators.
Charles was driven at a stately pace of a few miles an hour as he travelled about 50 metres.
The driver, who only wanted to be known by her first name Maria, was not fazed by the passenger in the back of her cab.
The 24-year-old part-time student said: “I was very happy to drive the prince and I wasn’t nervous, it was great.”
