You know, the clog-shaped foam footwear that first shot to stardom in the late 00s before (some would say tragically) reemerging in the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And a photographer allegedly caught King Charles\u2019 response to the controversial Crocs, with a number of photos of the monarch\u2019s sh0cked reaction having since gone viral online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And though we can\u2019t say for sure that the informal footwear was the trigger for the King\u2019s horror, it has since sparked a huge debate online with regards to royal etiquette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_229447\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-qbwibhia54.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot_2768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229447\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Charles appeared surprised in a number of photos (James Manning \u2013 WPA Pool\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have much time for the royal family but people turning up to the palace in Crocs is just indicative of the decline of standards in the UK,\u201d one social media user chimed in after catching wind of the Croc snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen don\u2019t encourage it.
