Prince Charles and wife Camilla have been caught with a case of the giggles while watching an Inuit throat singing performance in Canada.

The Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall were attending a welcome ceremony in Iqaluit, which sits on the edge of the Arctic Circle, and were treated to a traditional performance as part of the country's 150th birthday celebrations.

The footage, shot on June 29, shows the royal couple struggling to contain their laughter as the singers performed the traditional activity.

Camilla is seen turning to her husband and covering her mouth as she giggles uncontrollably, while Charles smiles broadly and scratches his nose.

Inuit throat singing is traditionally performed as a competition, usually between two women who stand face to face and attempt to outlast the other with quick and rhythmic exhalations.
