King Charles was left waiting in heavy rain for an umbrella at Antigua's independence day parade.
King Charles attended a parade in Antigua to mark the nation's 45th independence anniversary but was caught in a torrential downpour as he arrived at Sir Vivian Richards cricket stadium. Queen Camilla was quickly handed a see-through umbrella and moved to sheltered seating, while the King repeatedly asked his aides "Where's the umbrella?" as he stood in the rain. After several minutes, an umbrella was found and handed to him, and he proceeded to inspect troops on the parade ground before the downpour ended.
