Queen Camilla is under fire online after she was seen waltzing off with an umbrella while King Charles was left in the pouring rain at a ceremony in Antigua and Barbuda. Needless to say, no one would have been pleased to be compelled to continue a formal event soaked, let alone the King. Still, countless people around the world watched and mocked the monarch standing frustrated while his wife strolled away without helping him stay dry.
“I don’t like her at all. But I must give her credit here, she passive aggressively showed the entire world the current status of their relationship without uttering a single word,” remarked a Redditor. “This is unbelievable. She just ran off with the only umbrella,” pointed out another. “She didn’t even look back at her beloved husband to see if he needed umbrella cover,” added a third.
King Charles clearly looked annoyed as the Queen walked away, throwing his hands up in frustration. It’s not evident whether he was upset that she didn’t show consideration for him or that he didn’t get an umbrella for himself. Some critics emphasize how outraged he appeared toward staff, recalling how he reportedly lost his temper in the past over things like pens. In another turn of events, people began cheering the names of the infamous ex-royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Critics Compared Charles and Camilla in the Rain to Harry and Meghan
Back in 2018, when Harry and Meghan visited Dubbo, Australia, the Duchess of Sussex held an umbrella over her husband while he gave a speech during heavy rain. Many people point to this as evidence Meghan cares deeply for Harry and isn’t afraid to show it. This incident is now resurfacing with King Charles and Queen Camilla’s rainy experience in Antigua and Barbuda now making news.
“10 points for Harry and Meghan… This is how you do it,” praised The House Of Montecito on X. “Can you imagine if Meghan had walked away from Harry like that?” questioned a second, comparing the two couples. “It’s so clear which is the healthy relationship and which are not,” said a third.
The King allegedly joked about the incident later on, according to Reuters. “I think I’m about to grow watercress on my suit,” he remarked. Unfortunately for him, plenty of people did not take his public show of anger and his wife’s alleged inconsideration for her husband as a joke.
