On Wednesday, King Charles and the Queen Consort were in Liverpool to unveil the venue for this year’s Eurovision.
Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, were given a private tour of the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool and met the creative team preparing the area for the highly-anticipated event, but one moment in particular featuring the royals had Twitter users buzzing.
Charles and Camilla were requested to reveal this year’s stage by pressing a large pink button, which caused some complications for the former.
King Charles poised his right forefinger above the enormous button, but when he dropped it onto the gadget, he completely missed said extremely large button.
Twitter users soon caught up on the event, with many expressing their shock at the clip.
One person wrote: ‘Does King Charles and Queen Camilla not know how to press a button?’
Another social media user quipped: ‘King Charles “pressing” that button is so me when I’m pretending as if I’m doing anything useful.’
‘Honestly, imagine seeing this tweet 18 months ago. You’d 100% think you’ve travelled to a parallel universe. So utterly surreal,’ offered up another person on Twitter.

‘I’ve been doing Eurovision for six/seven years now,’ he told the King.
‘I’m on my best behaviour because I’m on home turf because normally I can go around Italy.’
The TV personality appropriately captioned the interaction: ‘Not the Italy stories.’
Charles and Camilla also spoke with Eurovision hosts Julia Sanina, Ted Lasso actor Hannah Waddingham, and BBC Radio 2 commentators Rylan and Scott Mills.
They then met Mae Muller, a 25-year-old vocalist who will represent the United Kingdom this year.
The competition’s grand final is scheduled for May 13, a week after the coronation event, and will be hosted in the United Kingdom for the first time in 25 years.
