Two police officers had their vehicles wheel-clamped as they carried out security duties for the Queen's recent visit to Portsmouth.
The two unmarked police vehicles were clamped during the surprise royal visit to Gunwharf Quays on Wednesday for lunch aboard a luxury yacht.
Hampshire Police said the officers had "not left the vehicles".
The alleged clamper, Gareth Andrews, 37, from Fareham, has been charged with obstructing police.
Mr Andrews, of Privett Road, is due to appear before South East Hampshire Magistrates' Court on 3 June.
Police said the incident had stopped them "conducting their duties".
Wheel-clamping firm Shoal Enforcement said the police officers had declined to prove they were on duty when asked, and had subsequently arrested their member of staff.
During the Queen's unannounced visit she had lunch on board the 245ft (75m) super yacht Leander, owned by NCP car park millionaire Sir Donald Gosling.

Serves them right. I get sick and tired of seeing police parked in no parking zones while they sit eating and drinking (rather than carrying out) their refreshments in local coffee shops.

Saw a cop run a cold red, just to pull up for some gas....
