The royal, 75, smiled as he chatted with workers non-profit organisation, that operates with around 80 to 90 volunteers. Charles then made his way into the Gate's food bank area, where volunteers talked him through how it operates, along with the positive impact it can have on those who need it the most.

Crowds formed outside the organisation's building, with many cheerful royalists hoping to catch a glimpse of Charles during his visit to the charity. Charles was seen seeming as he hugged a well-wisher over the barrier, as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

King Charles was met with much love from royal fans in Scotland on Thursday, as a woman wrapped her arms around him. The woman, who was wearing a large black coat, threw herself around Charles' shoulders as he placed his hand on her arm. Although his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, preferred a more formal handshake or curtsey, it seems that the new generation of royals including Charles, William and Kate, are not adverse to having a more intimate hug with fans of The Firm.
