The queen was in trouble and the king tried to help her.
September 8, 2022 marked the end of an era in the British crown with the death of Queen Elizabeth II at age 96. Her eldest son, Prince Charles, assumed the throne as King Charles alongside his wife, Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles. However, these last two years have not been easy for the royal couple, especially after the monarch was diagnosed with cancer following prostate surgery.
Recently, during an official visit to the island of Jersey, located in the English Channel, the kings were faced with adverse weather of rain and wind. In an awkward moment, Queen Camilla struggled to put on her coat while she held an umbrella, without receiving any help from her team. Faced with this situation, King Charles intervened, showing his discomfort and frustration at the lack of attention towards his wife.
An image broadcast by the Spanish media El Debate captured the moment when the royal couple faced inclement weather during a street parade under torrential rain. While the king struggled to open her umbrella, Camila tried to put her light blue trench coat over her shoulders, but she found it difficult to hold the umbrella with one hand.

Despite being surrounded by support staff, no one noticed the queen's situation, except her leader, who finally intervened to help her. Her face reflected annoyance and discomfort at the lack of attention towards his wife. The royal couple continued to struggle to resolve the issue, until someone from the team finally arrived to offer assistance, albeit with some delay.
After overcoming the uncomfortable episode, the queen consort finally managed to button her coat correctly. Despite everything, the kings returned their attention to the activity they had scheduled, leaving behind the embarrassing moment lived in the rain in Jersey. The visit, although marked by this incident, continued its course normally, evidencing the complicity and mutual support between Carlos and Camilla in their role as monarchs.
