'YOU'RE VERY DARING'
Cheeky fan steals a kiss from Prince Charles in breach of royal protocol
PRINCE Charles was given a big kiss by a woman in the crowd as he arrived at Ely Farmers' Market in Cambridgeshire today - a breach of royal protocol.
Together with the Duchess of Cornwall, he received the warm welcome as he met stallholders.

But the Prince of Wales got more than he bargained for in Ely when a woman broke royal protocol and leant in for a kiss.
It is against royal rules to initiate touching with a member of the royal family and contact may only be made when the royal offers it - luckily there is no punishment for this offence though.
As Prince Charles approached the woman he said she "looked well wrapped up" before greeting her.
She then took her chance and leaned in to give the royal a peck on the cheek.

The couple were introduced to a variety of traders, including producers of Aberdeen Angus beef, flower farmers, local growers of salad vegetables, chillies and soft fruit, as well as bakers and vegan food entrepreneurs.
Ely Markets has been in existence for at least 800 years and are a blend of traditional and modern, hosting different markets on six days a week all year round.
The farmers' market was launched in 2000 and two of the producers have directly benefited from the Prince's Trust Enterprise Programme in setting up their businesses.
