King Charles appeared visibly irritated with Queen Camilla during an official engagement in Italy when she struggled to keep pace with him. At one point, the Queen seemed unsure of where to stand and took a while to notice the King’s cues to join him for a photo.
While the moment sparked smiles among some, social media users quickly criticized the monarch for his apparent lack of patience. Some viewers pointed out his irritation as he waited for his wife to catch up during the event.
This interaction occurred during the royal couple’s visit to Italy, which marked their 20th wedding anniversary. Later that evening, the pair attended a state banquet hosted by President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale residence.
King Charles, 76, is on his first overseas trip this year as he continues treatment for cancer. His visit also included a historic address to a joint session of the Italian Parliament, making him the first British monarch to do so.
