On November 1, 2026, King Charles III was caught in a sudden torrential downpour during Antigua and Barbuda's Independence Day parade at the Sir Vivian Richards cricket stadium. The king repeatedly asked for an umbrella but remained drenched until one was eventually found, after which he quipped that watercress was growing on his trousers. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla quickly received her own umbrella and was sheltered from the rain. The storm lasted approximately five minutes before ending abruptly, allowing celebrations to continue without further interruption.
