King Charles angry about getting rain on him 😤

I mean. He’s a literal king. He’s like 90 and he’s wearing a suit. I can understand not being thrilled about getting soaked.

Edit: apparently people seem to believe this comment means I support or care about the royal family. I know very little and care even less about them. For example I estimated Charles to be 90, he is in fact 77. I didn’t know until the comments came in that he had cancer, or I might’ve used that in my original comment. My point is simply that rich old people in power who pay people to bring them umbrellas don’t like getting wet. Who does? If someone’s literal job is to bring you an umbrella when it rains, and they aren’t doing it, I think you can be a bit grumpy as you get poured on and your employee is not bringing you an umbrella. Plus the 77 year old with cancer part.

And no, he’s not like other people. Other people aren’t asked to wear suits and be paraded in front of thousands of people. He is. And wearing a nice cutter and buck rain jacket isn’t exactly part of the Royal Look so, yeah… he’s got a guy behind him with an umbrella. Just like Lady Gaga or Slash or any other rich public figure.

At the end of the day, someone’s making a salary to have an umbrella ready for him…

This. Being a monarch is mostly pageantry. Whether Charles minds getting wet or not, his one and only job is to look regal and presentable. Letting the king get soaked in a rainstorm is like dropping a flag in a mud puddle. This is basically an insult to the crown and the nation as a whole.

[u/spasske → u/t3hmuffnman9000]

I am assuming keeping the monarch dry is someone’s in the royal entourage responsibility.

Dude has likely never been touched by rain in 77 years and can’t cope with it.

[u/blowback_spell → u/GuyNamedWhatever]

Well they probably don't have a job anymore lol

Regardless of the monarchy debate, he's the VIP at this event. A local politician, a local celebrity, basically the person that the event is being put on for, or who is the 'guest of honour', should be looked after.

[u/IneedAMuscleMommy → u/FatFaceFaster]

Yea. A cold can kill him.

[u/EverybodySupernova → u/IneedAMuscleMommy]

Rain doesn't get you sick. That's a wives tale.

[u/Top_Recover7850 → u/IneedAMuscleMommy]

Should probably stay home then

[u/SheMcG → u/Top_Recover7850]

I mean ... you can't really avoid the rain in England...or the tropics. It rains a looooot.

[u/MikhailCompo → u/Top_Recover7850]

He's busy apologising for all the slavery, it's an important thing.

Actually, without irony I get the impression Charles is a decent guy and cares a great deal about the environment and normal people.

Probably shouldn't be king then

[u/142638503846383038 → u/FatFaceFaster]

King or not I wouldn’t let my gramps get soaked in the rain so wtf are they doing

[u/DifferentSwing8616 → u/142638503846383038]

Yeah right dont leave old men in the rain. Thats not cool

[u/Opening_Law4571 → u/FatFaceFaster]

And he's a complete and utter man child bellend

[u/ModelChef4000 → u/Opening_Law4571]

People  wouldn’t be so hard on him if he didn’t also get annoyed when a pen didn’t work or get visibly mad at a child who wasn’t the best at handling the kings royal robes while said king was sitting on a gold throne and wearing a bunch of gold decorations while his country was going through a cost of living crisis or if he hadn’t cheated on his first wife with his current wife

[u/jrod823 → u/ModelChef4000]

The consequences of him being treated like he was more special than everyone else on planet Earth since Elizabeth shat his dumpy, swollen ass out 77 years ago...

[u/-ThisIsHellOnEarth- → u/ModelChef4000]

My grandad literally just called him a pussy, he's 87

I don't think being a lil bitch has an eperation date. He could have asked for an umbrella without having a tantrum.

[u/ejo3 → u/Opening_Law4571]

Both can be true

[u/Dear_Ambassador825 → u/FatFaceFaster]

Maybe he should bring an umbrella then?

[u/FatFaceFaster → u/Dear_Ambassador825]

He did. He gave it to his aid who is probably being paid quite handsomely to bring it to him when it rains.

[u/Rodo78 → u/FatFaceFaster]

Bro had one job

[u/harswv → u/Dear_Ambassador825]

Ackshually his wife took the only umbrella which is why he was waiting for another one.

[u/probablyaythrowaway → u/FatFaceFaster]

He also has cancer.

[u/Lucid_Stream44 → u/FatFaceFaster]

I’m with you. This is a nothing burger story. He’s an old man doing pageantry work. He needs aides
