King Charles erupts at royal aide as he struggles to help Queen Camilla in the pouring rain

Queen Camilla, who celebrates her 77th birthday tomorrow, was meeting members of the public in Jersey.

The pair were faced with rain and strong winds as they watched a military parade through the town.

However, after propping up a perspex umbrella, the Queen struggled to get her arm through her coat, leading to the King who attempted to help his wife out - before a turning to an aide to ask for help.

King Charles looked visibly frustrated at the struggle to get the coat on, before the aide helped Her Majesty slip her arm through the coat.

It comes a day after the royal pair were pulled away from an engagement during their visit to Jersey over a “false alarm." The incident happened while the couple were attending the ‘expo’ stage of Monday’s tour of St Helier.

Camilla was eating an ice cream when a member of the visit team pulled both her and Charles away. The couple were then taken to the nearby Pomme d’Or Hotel. It is understood a member of the visit team raised a concern, and after investigation, it turned out to be a false alarm.

When the visit was announced in June, Bailiff of Guernsey Sir Richard McMahon said: "It will be a great privilege to welcome Their Majesties to the Bailiwick for the first time as King and Queen, the year after their coronation. Their visit this summer shows just how special the relationship between the Crown and the Islands is."

Chief Minister of Guernsey Deputy Lyndon Trott said: "As is well known, His Majesty also has a special interest in global efforts to combat climate change.

"We are looking forward to showcasing our initiatives to support those efforts and promote sustainability across a range of sectors.

"That includes the pioneering green finance initiatives of our main economic sector, which have a global impact."

The Crown Dependencies are not part of the UK but are self-governing possessions of the British Crown.

When the late Queen Elizabeth II visited Jersey in 2001, she was presented with two dead ducks on a silver tray – part of an ancient tradition dating back to the Middle Ages when six seigneurs – lords of the manor – would pay homage to the sovereign as the Duke of Normandy with the mallards.

Charles and Camilla last visited the Channel Islands during the Diamond Jubilee year of 2012.
