'Come and Help Her!': Ferocious King Charles Snaps at Aides Demanding They Help a Confused Queen Camilla Put on Coat
King Charles III showed off his "volcanic temper" with a pen during his Accession Council in September 2022, and now it returns when it comes to aides trying to fasten Queen Camilla's coat!
During a Monday, July 15, visit to the Channel Islands, Her Majesty's overcoat suffered a malfunction, which led His Majesty to shout at aides: "Come and help her!" lip-reader wJacqui Press dished.
In a clip of the incident on TikTok, the monarch can be heard telling his consort to "move your arm through the back" of the jacket sleeve. The King can be seen getting more flustered by the second when motioning to his court of assistants to fix the issue.
Later during the visit, Her Majesty was eating ice cream, and the next moment she was being whisked away due to a security threat. This threat came only two days after former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in the United States. The concern in question was never revealed by royal protection officers, but it did turn out to thankfully be a "false alarm."
The Queen was all smiles in front of members of the public in a bright, "yet mellow" blue dress with cream-colored heels.
Speaking about the security alarm that happened as Her Majesty was sampling local ice cream, royal reporter Michael Cole shared. "I'm sure there's a sort of heightened sense of security concern because of events in America, which we know about from Saturday night. But what stands out for me is the coolness of the Queen. She was eating an ice cream at the time, one of her aides whispered in her ear that there was a security concern, and she was taken away with the King to a nearby hotel."
Highlighting the consort's apparent sense of defiance of the possible threat, Cole added: "She continued eating her ice cream, so rather like Drake before the Armada, she concentrated on the important things first."
The King is certainly no novice when it comes to security concerns, with the monarch dodging several alarming "close calls" in his decades of service as the heir to the throne.
"30 years ago in Sydney, a young man with a starting pistol fired it twice," Cole further observed. "And I remember very clearly the Prince of Wales, as he then was, had a police protection officer called Inspector Colin Trimming, and he jumped on this young man who fired these shots and wrestled him to the ground. The King stood on and looked in bemusement, fiddled with his cufflinks, and looked at the scene."
Despite the former president's close call with an assassin's bullet in Butler, Penn., on Saturday, July 13, and other world leaders on high alert, the monarch and consort will go ahead with their tour of Australia later this year. The long-awaited trip will celebrate their role as the King and Queen of that nation, despite the latter's aversion to long travel.
