On the 17th local time, the British Parliament opened. King Charles attended the opening ceremony accompanied by Camilla. This was also the second time he opened the Parliament as a monarch.
Charles, wearing parliamentary robes and an imperial crown, sat on the throne and delivered a speech written by the government, outlining the legislative matters that the new government planned to promote.
The speech lasted about 20 minutes and went very smoothly , but before that, a very embarrassing thing actually happened ...

Before taking a seat, there are Several page boys carried Charles and Camilla's robes behind them.
(The page boys helped the two people carry their robes)
After Charles and Camilla sat down respectively, the page boys were also responsible for helping them straighten their robes.
At this time, there was an episode. Camilla’s pageboys arranged the robes in a few seconds, but Charles moved slowly.
(The waiters helped the two people adjust their robes)
The scene was silent. Charles kept staring at the robes, wondering if he felt the pressure. The waiters seemed a little flustered.
At this time, a page boy standing next to Charles' right hand wanted to reach out to help him hang his robe on the armrest, but Charles retracted his arm for some reason and made a blocking movement.

The waiter immediately let go, seeming a little panicked.
The next second, Charles shook his arms vigorously, whether he was urging the waiter to work quickly, or he wanted to hang up the robe himself.
After seeing it, the waiter stepped forward to help again, and finally got it done this time.

After this video was posted online, it immediately sparked controversy.
Some netizens believed that Charles was actually helping the page boy by turning over his robe.
But more people accused him of having a bad attitude and being impatient, and that he should not get angry in public, and inevitably compared him with the late Queen again:
"His mother was tolerant and patient. But he seemed to lack it. These qualities.”
(from the dailymail comment area)
It’s no wonder that everyone’s first reaction was that Charles was angry again. Compared with the queen who is always patient and elegant with the staff, he is indeed not very good at hiding his emotions. He has also done things that made him angry in public many times before.
The most recent one happened two days ago.
At that time, Charles and Camilla went to St. Helier, the capital of Jersey, for a two-day visit. It's a pity that the weather was not kind. When the two of them were watching the military parade outdoors, it rained heavily and the temperature dropped sharply.
Although they stood under the rain shelter and held an umbrella, the raindrops were flying everywhere, and their clothes were wet. Camilla's entire upper body was retracted into the umbrella.

In order to keep warm, Camilla held an umbrella in the wind and put on her coat with difficulty.
Charles wanted to help her put on the other sleeve. Seeing that the staff standing behind him had no intention of helping, he suddenly became angry and shouted at the other person: "Come and help her!"
This scene After being caught on camera, netizens inevitably accused him again of being "arrogant" and "not royally styled".

Counting further back, in July last year, Biden also angered Charles over .
At that time, Biden visited Windsor Castle, but he committed a series of unreasonable behaviors, including walking arrogantly in front of Charles, touching his back many times, and chatting with the guards.
Originally this link did not exist. Charles kindly reminded him, but Biden did not listen and turned around to continue communicating with the guards.
Now Charles completely lost his patience, but it was impossible to get angry with Biden, so he vented his anger on the unlucky guard. At the coronation ceremony in May of the same year, Charles was upset again.
Because on such an important day, his son William's family was late.
According to official procedures, the William family should have arrived at Westminster Abbey where the ceremony was held and took their seats before Charles and Camilla, but they arrived late that day.
Charles and Camilla could only sit in the carriage and wait. During this period, the conversation between the two was captured on camera. According to lip reading experts, Charles complained:
"I was worried about time, I mean this time. Longer, uh, what I'm saying is: "Look, I knew it."
"Yeah, I...that's kind of a negative."

Going forward is the well-known pen box and pen leakage incident in 2022.
html In September, Charles and Camilla visited Northern Ireland. They were originally in a good mood when they saw the enthusiastic people, but when they went to Hillsborough Castle to sign documents, he was irritated by a pen again.
Charles first wrote the wrong date when signing, and was holding his breath. When he finished writing and handed the pen to Camilla, the pen leaked again.
At this time, Charles exploded. He stood up and wiped the ink on his hands while muttering viciously:
"I can't stand this damn thing."
"Oh my God, I hate this pen."
"The ink always stunks so much."
then angrily left the room as Camilla signed.
(Charles was angered by the pen leaking)
At the registration ceremony a few days later, when Charles signed the "Declaration of Accession", he once again had trouble with the pen.
Because the table where the signature was signed was small and the document was spread out in a large area, Charles accidentally knocked the pen box on the table crookedly while signing. He immediately made a strange grinning expression, pushed the pen box and motioned to the person next to him to take it away.
(Charles asked the pen case to be removed)
He was very upset about this. Later, when signing another smaller document, he once again asked the attendant to remove the pen case, which also caused a conflict with the pen case.
This funny scene was seen by netizens from all over the world through live broadcast. It can be said that it was a big embarrassment just after taking the throne.
Another incident occurred in 2005, when Charles and his two sons held a brief press conference in the Swiss ski resort of Klosters.
bbc senior royal reporter Nicholas Witchell asked him how he felt about the upcoming wedding to Camilla.
Charles only gave a bland answer: "Anyway, I'm glad you heard the news." Then he complained to his sons in a low voice: "I can't stand that person anymore. I mean, he's terrible, he's really hateful. I hate these people."
He didn't realize at the time that he All his words were recorded by a nearby microphone, and the reporters were very surprised.
(Charles and Harry William were interviewed)
It can be said that Charles’ temper has always been like this, which has also caused him to be controversial.
However, he may not think of himself as superior to others as the netizens speculated, so he is arrogant and rude. It should be more due to his personality.
His biographers agree that although Charles was violent when he had emotional outbursts, he was quick to lose his temper and was usually quick to apologize.
Senior royal reporter Valentine Low once commented in the book: "When there are problems with his schedule, or when he feels that his instructions are not followed, he will vent his anger. But when he is sure that the instructions are finally strictly implemented, he will vent his anger. He will calm down soon."
As a monarch after all, he represents the image of the United Kingdom, and the people naturally hope that he can at least be emotionally stable.
However, at Charles’s age, he has obvious personality changes. I’m afraid it’s impossible...
