King Charles has come under fire again for uttering a statement that many thought was inappropriate when he held an audience with Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace Tuesday. However, some also rallied to defend Prince William's dad.

King Charles Breach Royal Protocol During Meeting With PM Liz Truss?

His Majesty has a weekly audience with the Prime Minister. The late Queen did the same even if she had remained politically neutral during her entire reign.

When they met, Truss greeted Queen Consort Camilla's husband and even curtsied to him before shaking his hand while saying, "Your Majesty, it is good to see you again."

"Back again?" King Charles replied while smiling. The PM responded: "It's a great pleasure."

King Charles was probably trying to fill the silence and uttered "dear oh dear" before carrying on with the conversation, which didn't sit well with many.

"Bad mistake from King Charles to appear to be mocking his first PM on camera, no matter how inept he may think her. Elizabeth II didn't breach protocol like that in 70 years," political commentator Patrick O'Flynn tweeted.

"I am a royalist but there are good kings and bad kings and I'm afraid Charles will prove himself to be the latter and could signify the end of the Monarchy," another wrote per Express.

Others said that the king was exposing his character. Meanwhile, some also defended King Charles. One said, His Majesty's comment was referring to "how time flies or something."

One said that "people are reading into it too much." On the other hand, another person said, "I suspect that you are correct. But there is an urge, anti-Royalist or anti-Tory or both, to read far more into those few words."

King Charles Has Been Criticized Due To His Behavior

It wasn't the first time Prince William and Prince Harry's father was criticized due to his behavior. Shortly after ascending the throne, a viral video featuring the British monarch signaling an aide to remove the pen box also received mixed responses.

Some said he was ill-mannered and arrogant. However, some also said that, just like King Charles, they would be annoyed if they were in his place.

Shortly after the said incident, he appeared in another footage while signing a document. He asked for the date, "Is it September 12th?" and a person standing behind him responded, "13th sir."

"Oh god, I've put the wrong date down," the new monarch uttered before correcting the date. Then, he noticed that the pen was leaking and seemingly lost his temper.

"Oh God I hate this [pen]!" King Charles said before handing the pen to his wife, Queen Consort Camilla. Then he walked and left his wife.
