Boris Johnson struggles with umbrella as Prince Charles laughs beside him

Boris Johnson struggled with his umbrella during a visit to the UK Police Memorial, much to the amusement of Prince Charles sat beside him.

The prime minister was initially unable to open the umbrella and when he finally did, blustery winds turned it inside out before he was able to get it under control.
