The Prince of Wales soared to the top of a celebrity leaderboard at a Hastings seafront crazy golf course, after taking on the famous windmill hole.

The Prince, who said he had played mini golf with his family before, played five holes at Hastings Adventure Golf as part of a day out with local young people.

The Hastings course was home to the 2026 World Crazy Golf Championships in June, with competitors from around the world all vying for the sport's largest prize fund.

Joining teenagers on the seafront, as a small crowd watched, he did not manage a hole in one, but finished respectably.

After the Prince had left at the end of the engagement, the mini golfers averaged his score out across the usual 18 holes, saying that he might have made it in 33 but that they would settle on 35 as a conservative estimate.
