On November 1, 2026, during Antigua and Barbuda's independence day celebrations, King Charles III was left drenched without an umbrella as a sudden torrential downpour hit. The king repeatedly asked his entourage where the umbrella was before eventually finding one to shelter under. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla was quickly provided with an umbrella when the rain started. Despite the brief interruption lasting around five minutes, the celebrations continued after the rain stopped, featuring a military parade on what used to be a cricket pitch. Charles joked later that he had started growing watercress on his trousers due to getting wet.
