He's known to have a sweet tooth - and Prince Charles looked delighted to be presented with a plate of baklava today.
The royal, 69, was seen trying out the delicacy as he met with the Melkite Greek-Catholic community at St. Barnabas Church in London.
Charles, who wore a navy suit and blue speckled tie for the visit, looked in high spirits as he spoke to members of the congregation.
The Prince of Wales was seen pointing enthusiastically at a plate of baklavas, a sweet pastry made of layers of filo, before sharing a joke with a group of religious leaders.

On arriving at the church, Charles was greeted by a crowd of schoolchildren waving Union flags.
He also met with families who have escaped persecution in the Middle East during the visit, before attending a service of prayers and addressing the congregation.
Charles appears to be enjoying his festive of engagements of late, paying a trip to the Ramsbury Distillery in Wiltshire on Friday.
During the visit, he was seen sampling the vodka and gin produced there - and certainly seemed to approve.
