Prince Charles admitted today that his action man days were behind him as he chatted to surfers on a Cornish beach. The heir to the throne, considered something of a heart throb in his day and who frequently drew admiring glances from women on sun-kissed beaches around the world, said ruefully that he was 'past his sell-by date'. The prince and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, were visiting the surfing mecca of Watergate Bay near Newquay, Cornwall, as part of a three-day trip to the West Country. Surf's up! Charles met with a group of young surfing chefs at surfing mecca Watergate Bay, Cornwall
