Social Media Users Defend King Charles After Allegedly Snapping At Page Boy; Claim He Said 'Thank You'
King Charles allegedly lost his temper at the State Opening of Parliament.
His Majesty made headlines due to how he allegedly behaved at the State Opening of Parliament at the House of Lords on Wednesday. According to the Daily Mail, he allegedly got "frustrated" when the page boy adjusted his robe. Express added that the monarch "appears to snap" at the page boy in a video of the incident shared online. However, online users who saw the clip didn't think it was the case.
"Why are sky news trying to make a story out of this by pretending it's something that it's not. I'm not a royalist, but you can clearly hear the King say thank you in a very kind way. He appears to be trying to assist his Page boys. Poor journalism this. Shame on you," one commented on X, formerly Twitter.

"This is a non-story....you can clearly hear him say 'thank you' to the boys as he moves the robe," a second user opined.
A third person remarked, "Looks to me like he's trying to help out, you can even hear him saying thank you and what not."
"TBH, I don't have a lot of time for Charles or any of the surrounding ceremonial malarkey, but I can't see any problem or rudeness, obviously wearing this nonsense would be irritating & fiddly for anyone & giving it a little shake is the least of our problems. This is not a story," a fourth person said.
"You can clearly hear King Charles saying "thank you" to the page boy. He does look absolutely ridiculous, though," a fifth person stated.
Per the Daily Mail, the alleged recent snapping incident happened just days after he reportedly lost his temper at an aide. Earlier in the week, His Majesty was caught on camera seemingly snapping at an aide who struggled to help his wife, Queen Camilla, get her arm through her coat while battling wind and rain in Jersey.

In a video, King Charles was seen holding an umbrella while attempting to help his wife before he turned to an aide and asked for assistance. He was visibly annoyed while waiting for Camilla to wear the coat.
King Charles has made headlines due to his temper multiple times. Just days after Queen Elizabeth passed away, His Majesty signed a sovereign oath during the Accession of Council. The monarch was visibly upset due to a leaking pen. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla remained cool as she sat down and signed the guestbook without any complaint.
