Prince Charles and Camilla tame the Beano's Bash Street Kids

Royal couple meet comic's unruly stars in latest edition – even getting them to eat their greens and read books

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall acquired some rather unusual prints to add to their collection when they took a trip to Bash Street, home of the Beano.

The couple were immortalised as cartoons in the latest edition of the comic, persuading Smiffy and the gang into eating their greens and reading books.
The royals were presented with framed prints during a visit to publishing company DC Thomson & Co in Dundee, where they started the firm's new printing press. The special edition sees them meet Dennis the Menace, Roger the Dodger et al in Beanotown's Bash Street School.
The story lines were designed to reflect the royals' interests. Charles is pictured dropping into the school canteen and finding the food inedible, persuading the kids to put their pea shooters to good use as seed planters to grow their own.
Camilla, meanwhile, opens the school's new library, convincing the unruly pupils that reading is fun.
