King Charles was royally ticked off after being left soaking wet in a tropical downpour during a visit to Antigua.
The 77-year-old monarch showed a rare flash of anger as rain came pouring down during a ceremony marking the 45th anniversary of Antigua and Barbuda’s independence.
The soggy spectacle unfolded at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, where Charles and Camilla had arrived for a military parade.
As the skies opened up, the King found himself standing in the pouring rain without an umbrella, and he wasn’t exactly amused.
Footage captured an increasingly irritated Charles throwing his arms into the air, turning toward his aides and repeatedly demanding, “Where’s the umbrella?”

At one point, the frustrated monarch even appeared to mime holding an umbrella, seemingly trying to make his request impossible to misunderstand.
Charles eventually got his umbrella and carried on with the ceremony, inspecting military personnel despite the soaking.
Fortunately for the royal entourage, the downpour lasted only about five minutes before the skies cleared.
The King apparently wasn’t one to hold a grudge, later cracking a joke to Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne about his drenched pants.
“I’ve started growing watercress on my trousers,” he quipped.
Charles is in the Caribbean to shore up ties with former British colonies, several of which have demanded reparations for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade.
