US President Donald Trump has shared a misleading video on social media which appears to show King Charles shrugging and walking away from a man who fainted during a royal visit.
The footage, which has been edited, features in a video shared by Trump on his Truth Social platform which appears to show other world leaders being disrespectful. The video goes on to show a montage of clips where Trump is seen honouring fallen US troops, hugging veterans and shaking hands with law enforcement officers.
The clip of the King was taken from a longer video when, as Prince of Wales, he was visiting an Asda supermarket distribution centre in Bristol during the Covid pandemic in July 2020.
The full footage, which Trump did not use, showed Charles reaching out to the man as he fell before remaining close by as he received medical attention. The video posted by Trump edits out the King staying close to the worker.
Buckingham Palace said it was not something it would comment on. The White House has not responded to a request for comment.
