While visiting Jamaica, Britain's Prince Charles and his Royal Mistress Camilla toured the former home of reggae legend Bob Marley and got a chance to rock out to some reggae rhythms. Marley's old house at 56 Hope Road is home to a museum, recording studios, and a large community of the singer's Rastafarian brethren. During their time on Hope Road, the Prince and Camilla visited with this group of Rastas and joined in on a traditional drum circle. Afterwards, Charles remarked: "I think I rather ruined that one." I wonder if anyone tried to pass the Prince a spliff while he was drumming. For Chuck's sake, I hope he doesn't realize the Rastas are basically talking about him when they're doing all that singing about "chanting down Babylon." Check out a video of all the Princely awkwardness after the jump.
