No matter how heavy the downpour, the Royal Family rarely miss an engagement due to poor weather.

Last month, King Charles and Queen Camilla braved the elements during their visit to the Channel Islands. 

The pair watched a military parade under an awning but the rain was so heavy that they had to reach for their umbrellas.

Charles was pictured beaming up at the sky during the heavy downpour and stood with his suit getting soaked.

An official tried to shield the monarch with his cloak but Charles laughingly told him not to bother while he smiled and waved to the troops and drenched children in the parade.

Meanwhile, Camilla struggled to put her coat on while clutching an umbrella – prompting the King to ask an aide for help.

However, this wasn’t the first downpour that the royals have found themselves caught up in.
