Liberal magazine The Cut has launched a fiery attack on King Charles III in a new piece which has sent tongues wagging while the new monarch mourns the loss of his beloved mother, Queen Elizabeth.
Just one week after the Queen's untimely death on September 8, New York magazine The Cut has called King Charles a 'jerk' and claimed that he has been 'rude' to his staff over the last seven days as the nation gears up to say a final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth at her funeral next Monday.
The controversial magazine, which only two months ago published a lengthy interview with Meghan Markle, titled the scathing piece as ' King Charles's Reign of Fussiness Has Begun ', claiming that 73-year-old monarch is partial to having a 'tantrum'.
The publication also dubbed King Charles as 'fussy' and insinuated that he was sulky in the days after his mother's death.
It claims that King Charles stormed out of a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland when a pen leaked on him, and that the also had a 'tantrum' when he 'trussed up in tails and hissing at palace aides who failed to move a pen tray off his table with due haste.'
The moment has now gone viral in a TikTok video which is circulating on the app, as it shows King Charles seemingly gesturing to aides to help him to make room on a cluttered desk while he was signing important documents.
The controversial article in The Cut then goes on to mention a report from the Guardian in which it was alleged that Charles reportedly informed 100 employees that he was letting them go during a memorial service for his mother.
"Everybody is absolutely livid, including private secretaries and the senior team," a source reportedly told the publication.
The scathing article on King Charles comes just one month after his daughter-in-law gave the publication a lengthy interview following on from her explosive Oprah Winfrey interview in March 2021, where she unveiled the 'hurt' that the Royal family had placed upon her.
Speaking to The Cut in August, Meghan revealed that her husband Prince Harry told her that he had 'lost' his father, King Charles, after the pair decided to step away from their Royal duties in 2020.
Meghan said that she and Harry were 'happy' to leave Britain and felt as though they were 'upsetting the dynamic of the hierarch just by existing' before they stepped down from their duties and set their sights on America.
Meghan and Harry have put on a united front since the Queen's passing, greetings fans and walking alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton.
