'His Majesty also heard about the Regiment's training and equipment – before being invited to fire a L118 Light Gun himself!' the caption read. 'To commemorate His Majesty's first visit as Captain General, The King was presented with an engraved 105mm Cartridge which was fired during Their Majesties' Coronation.'
Followers quickly noticed one detail in the photo that had nothing to do with the monarch. Commenters called out the man wearing a green beret standing behind the King, dubbing him "hot beret man" in the comment section.
"Are we not going to talk about green beret guy in the first picture? Good heavens he's handsome!" read one comment.
"Umm king who's the guy behind you 😍" added another.
One commenter claiming to be the sister of "hot beret man" said her brother is aware of the social media frenzy, and said, "😆😆😆😆 loving these comments! He's my brother he's 46 and not single sorry ladies."
Several people in the comment section noted that they "ran" to the comments after seeing the picture.
The royal family has not yet commented on the man in the green beret.
