After watching May on stage, Charles said to her, “You’re very funny.

“Well done, you are absolutely gorgeous.

“It’s hard to keep coming up with new jokes.”

The Prince and Camilla also saw a dance performance by teenagers before speaking to them and unveiling a plaque commemorating the theatre’s restoration.

The royal couple had started the day stepping into the magical world of Narnia as they explored CS Lewis Square in Belfast accompanied by mythical creatures.

After being introduced to the White Witch on Stilts and Mr Tumnus, Prince Charles looked surprised and said: “Why, thank you very much.

“Very nice of you to dress up like that.”

The couple strolled through the impressive plaza near Lewis’ original home on the east side of the city.
