His sons are known for gamely posing for photos, but Prince Charles is fed-up with having phones 'shoved in his face' on royal walkabouts, it is claimed.
The Duke of Cornwall, who celebrates his 70th birthday this week, has grown tied of people 'poking their phones' at him when he approaches well-wishers on official engagements, according to a filmmaker.
Director John Birdcut, who spent a year following Charles while filming Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70 for BBC One, revealed he heard the royal telling supporters he is 'trying to give up selfies' when they request a quick snap together.

Despite his hesitation, the royal has still posed for a number of selfies, including this one taken in Hertfordshire in 2013. The insights came from royal filmmaker John Birdcut
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Birdcut described Charles as 'unexpectedly warm' and 'remarkably easy with crowds' but drew a line at mobile phones.
'He gets irritated by people poking their phones at them,' Birducut said. 'I heard him tell people, "I’m trying to give up selfies".
'He wants to meet people, and it irritates him getting camera phones shoved in his face.'

Despite his apparent resistance, Charles has posed for photos - including selfies - with royal supporters.
Meanwhile his youngest son Prince Harry, 34, and daughter-in-law the Duchess of Sussex, 37, happily posed for several photos with royal supporters during their recent 16-day tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.
Harry made headlines around the world when he stepped up to take a photo of his pregnant wife with one schoolgirl who looked strikingly like she did as a child.

And on an outing in Wellington, the couple posed for a snap with two 10-year-old girls who had queued for nine hours to see them.
Prince William appears slightly less convinced of selfies, once telling a fan that he's 'allergic' to them, but is often happy to pose with fans.
The Duchess of Cornwall, Zara Tindall and Prince Andrew have also been captured in selfies.
Princess Beatrice is particularly on board with selfies and has even helped take them when meeting royal fans.
Even the Queen was snapped in a selfie when Jack Surgenor, then 14, leaped into her path to capture the photo in Belfast in June 2014 - although her security team was less than impressed

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
