- UK News. King Charles sidelines Queen Camilla to follow royal protocol forgetting about chivarly
If there's one thing King Charleshas always wanted, it's to have Camilla by his side-and that's nothing new. The Queen Consort has long been his constant companion, appearing by his side at nearly every public event. But even the deepest royal love stories have their hiccups, and it turns out that not even Camilla is immune to testing Charles's famously thinning patience.
Ever since ascending the throne, Charles has had a few public moments where his royal composure has cracked-and unfortunately for him, the cameras never miss a beat. This time, it was Queen Camilla who pushed his buttons, and the King's reaction didn't exactly go unnoticed. Let's just say his frustration was written all over his face.
The King's patience wears thin
State visits are usually a well-oiled machine of royal protocol and formalities. And Charles, always the traditionalist, wasn't about to miss the chance to mark his visit to Italy with the usual commemorative photo. What he didn't plan on was losing his cool with Camilla mid-ceremony.
King Charles was ready and waiting to pose alongside Italian President Sergio Mattarella during their official engagement. Camilla, meanwhile, took a step back to give the two men their moment. But in a twist no one saw coming, both Charles and the President invited her to them in the historic shot. The only problem was Camilla didn't seem too eager to jump in.
Camilla was just taking her sweet time
Charles's expression said it all. With a clear (and very public) gesture, he urged Camilla to come stand beside him, while President Mattarella tried to coax her over as well. Camilla, ever composed, took her sweet time making her way over-walking slowly and calmly, much to the King's barely concealed annoyance.
Eventually, Camilla ed the group, and the moment was sealed with a photo and a now-viral video. Charles, clearly relieved, cracked a soft smile as if all was finally right in his royal world. But let's be real-while the official portrait may go down in history, it's the King's mild tantrum that's stealing the spotlight.
