King Charles III reacted to England's 1-2 FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final defeat against Argentina with a light-hearted joke, saying it was "a good day to drown a few sorrows."
The King made the remark during a visit to Hall & Woodhouse's Badger Brewery in Dorset on Thursday, just hours after England's 2-1 loss to Argentina.
As Queen Camilla helped him pour a pint of Fursty Ferret amber ale, King Charles smiled and said, "Maybe it's a good day to drown a few sorrows," drawing laughter from those present at the spot.
His comment came after England suffered a heart-breaking defeat in Atlanta. The Three Lions took the lead through Anthony Gordon, but Argentina came back with late goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez to book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.
