To the king Charles III of England criticism rained down on him from his first day as new UK monarchand this Saturday his historic proclamation ceremony was held at the St. James Palace, where the media captured two moments that went viral on the networks due to the erratic behavior of the eldest son of Isabel II.
Although the signing of the Proclamation of Accession, which marks his official accession to the British throne, was surrounded by solemnity and protocol, the king did not notice that the eyes of the world were upon him when he noted his annoyance with two of his assistantsin a tone that many have described as rude and disrespectful.
It all happened when Carlos, with obvious annoyance, asked his employees on two occasions to remove the tray of pens on your desk before continuing to write. The king then made a motion with his hands indicating to the staff that they should quickly remove the inkwell from the table.
The gesture lasted only a few seconds, but it was undoubtedly quite significant for Internet users, as several users wondered if he could not move them alone or if it was necessary to have made such gestures for the attendees to clear the table. Many even noted the queen consort’s expression of anguish, Camilla of Cornwallbefore the evident impatience of her husband.
The controversy did not wait in the networks and the comments about the bad attitude of the king were present: “The servant must clean my desk for me. I can’t be expected to move things.”joked a Twitter user who was watching the live broadcast, and another added: “First day on the job and you’re fed up”.
In a second controversial moment, King Charles appears seated signing the documents that accredit him as sovereign and then gritting his teeth and waving to his staff over the pens that are once again cluttering the desk.
For many, this moment was just a “joke” for his assistants in an attempt by Carlos to make everything perfect during his ceremony. However, other users were not so kind in his interpretation and made it clear that his attitude is not what is expected to be seen in the leader of the British monarchy.
“Imagine respecting anyone who treats another human being like that”commented one of the users in networks, while others recalled the similarities of the king’s behavior with his father, Philip of Edinburghwho was once recorded desperate during a photo session in which he addressed the photographer with insults.
It should be remembered that Carlos, 73, now succeeds his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, in the Accession Council that met this Saturday to proclaim him king. Next to him were his son and heir to the throne, William; his wife and his queen consort, Camilla of Cornwallas well as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss.
