Royal Family News: King Charles Blames ‘Incompetent’ Staff For Disastrous Tour

That’s because everything that could go wrong had gone wrong on the trip.

In fact, King Charles and Queen Camilla are relieved to be back home in the UK, as there’s a very good chance that they won’t be returning to that area of the world for a very long time.

Just to recall, there were even allegations being made that the Queen was acting “nasty” during her Caribbean tour with her husband, King Charles.

And that’s all because she was forced to stand out in the rain without an umbrella during a ceremony in Antigua and Barbuda.

Queen Camilla looked so agitated during the moment that King Charles even stepped in and demanded an umbrella for his wife, as detailed by the Daily Mail.

Some people have even gone as far as to describe the Queen’s behavior as “nasty” and “unnecessarily harsh,” as the cameras were there to catch the entire moment.

As King Charles was left asking for his umbrella during the downpour, the awkward moment quickly attracted attention.

And now, according to the Daily Mail, royal aides are being blamed for the entire fiasco.

One source close to the situation even put it this way:

“‘Umbrella-gate’ and the King’s soaking was a rare misstep by Buckingham Palace’s usually seamless operation, particularly given the optics of the day. Aides would ordinarily have checked the forecast and ensured an umbrella was immediately to hand.”

Then again, it’s not like the King really has the patience to deal with any kind of incompetence these days, right?

Some royal watchers have also expressed concerns about King Charles’ health following the rain-soaked appearance.

And with King Charles’ demanding royal travel schedule, these concerns are nothing new.

Meanwhile, King Charles’ relationship with his palace staff has made headlines before.

So far, Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the matter, although at this point it’s doubtful that anything will be said.

Watch this space, as we have a feeling there is much more to come.

Annemarie’s Take

Surely someone should have been prepared with an umbrella! But do you think the royal aides deserve all the blame for this embarrassing moment?
