Selfies, handshakes and loud cheers marked the end of the Prince of Wales’s first day in Estonia as he spent almost 40 minutes greeting members of the public.
Hundreds of well-wishers gathered outside Cleantech Association in Tallinn, waiting to catch a glimpse of the prince after he attended a workshop with a range of renewable energy startups and heard how Estonia and other Baltic states are ushering in a new era of energy security.
Putting a green puffa jacket by Canadian sportswear brand Lulelemon over the top of his jacket, he spent almost 40 minutes shaking hands in chilly conditions, posing for endless selfies and chatting with members of the public.
The crowd gasped when a battery pack fell off the back of someone’s phone while William held it for a selfie, and one woman was so overcome by meeting him that she lost her footing and nearly fell to the ground.
