King Charles III Joked Of Having Two Wives
The joke that King Charles III cracked was about having two wives. “I’ve come to the conclusion that really it would have been easier to have two wives to cover both sides of the street. And I could have walked down the middle directing the operation,” the then-Prince of Wales had said. The crowd laughed at the joke.
However, this video has been circulating around on TikTok recently and has been amassing a different reaction. This includes broken heart emojis and comments that note that Princess Diana is about to cry. The incident took place when the couple attended a banquet at the end of their six-week tour in 1983.
