King Charles and Queen Camilla encountered intense heat, a demanding nine-day itinerary and a surprise tropical rainstorm while visiting the Caribbean, prompting widespread discussion about their resilience.

A royal joke in the rain

During an Independence Day parade at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, a sudden heavy shower soaked the monarch and his wife just as events were beginning. With staff unable to assist while the national anthem played, the King looked momentarily annoyed at the lack of cover before making light of the situation. He joked that he was growing watercress on his soaked trousers, while the Queen smiled from beneath her umbrella. Later, at a Commonwealth dinner, he remarked that part of his duties involved providing an umbrella for everyone.
