Here’s the latest I can gather based on recent coverage.
- Robert Irwin reportedly discussed an embarrassing moment involving King Charles during a lunch when he was younger, which has been widely covered by entertainment outlets in early May 2026. Sources describe him spilling orange juice on the table with King Charles and then spilling again after a refill.[1][2]
- The story has circulated as a human-interest anecdote tied to Robert Irwin’s broader media profile, including interviews and appearances around that time.[4][1]
Note: I’m not seeing any official royal statements confirming the incident beyond tabloid and entertainment reporting. If you’d like, I can search for more authoritative coverage or pull up the full articles to verify details. Would you like me to do that?
