King Charles was heard muttering 'oh dear' during his first weekly audience with under-fire Prime Minister Liz Truss. It is unsure why he said the two were exchanging greetings.
The 73-year-old monarch was overheard at the start of the meeting at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday (October 12).
Last month, the pair spoke briefly during a special audience following the death of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The brief meetings take place once a week and are only attended by the monarch and Prime Minister.
