King Charles Caught On Camera Yelling At Aide For Failing To Help Queen Camilla With Her Coat

King Charles III’s recent visit to the Channel Islands has drawn attention not only for its diplomatic significance but also for a brief moment of apparent frustration caught on camera.

During a rainy engagement in Jersey on Monday, the 75-year-old monarch was seen gesturing impatiently for assistance as Queen Camilla struggled to put on her coat while holding an umbrella. The incident, which occurred as the royal couple braved inclement weather, has reignited discussions about the King’s temperament.

Observers noted that Charles initially attempted to help his wife before visibly signaling for staff to intervene. Royal watchers and body language experts have scrutinized the moment, suggesting it may reveal insights into the pressures of public life faced by the royal family.

This is not King Charles’s first time caught in a testy moment. In 2005, he was overheard making disparaging remarks about BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell during a press event in Klosters, Switzerland. More recently, in 2022, the then-Prince of Wales expressed frustration over a malfunctioning pen during a signing ceremony at Hillsborough Castle.

The King’s coronation in 2023 also provided fodder for lip readers, who claimed to have observed Charles expressing impatience while waiting in a coach outside Westminster Abbey.

Recent reports have noted that the King demands palace staff iron his shoelaces. 

Charles had to deal with cancer treatment in recent months, which has taken him away from his royal duties.
