LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 15: Prince George of Wales, Prince William, Prince of Wales (Colonel of the Welsh Guards), Prince Louis of Wales, Princess Charlotte of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales, King Charles III, wearing his Irish Guards uniform, and Queen Camilla watch an RAF flypast from the balcony of Buckingham Palace after attending Trooping the Colour on June 15, 2024 in London, England. Trooping the Colour, also known as The King's Birthday Parade, is a military ceremony to mark the official birthday of the British Sovereign. The ceremony takes place at Horse Guards Parade followed by a flypast over Buckingham Palace and was first performed in the mid-17th century during the reign of King Charles II. The parade features all seven regiments of the Household Division with Number 9 Company, Irish Guards being the regiment this year having their Colour Trooped.

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.
