Royal fans spotted Camilla appearing to check her watch during the Coronation Concert – while other viewers claim she was simply adjusting her light-up bracelet.
More than 20,000 spectators, including the King and Queen, have gathered outside Windsor Castle for the star-studded Coronation Concert tonight.
Among the global stars to take the stage was Lionel Richie, who performed his hit songs Easy Like a Sunday Morning and All Night Long as the crowd sang along.
But those watching on TV took to social media after spotting Camilla look down towards her wrist as the US singer performed on stage.
One said: ‘Camilla checking her watch is my Coronation Concert highlight so far.’

Another added: ‘Camilla wondering if she can be back to watch Shawshank Redemption at 10pm.’
But others believe she was simply adjusting the light-up bracelet given to spectators for the concert.
Richie’s appearance earlier prompted a royal singalong and huge applause from the royal box, who joined around 20,000 members of the public at the event to continue the celebrations.
As he took to the stage to perform a rendition of his track Easy, it prompted a singalong throughout the audience including including the King and Queen.
Zara and Mike Tindall could be seen singing along to the song, with some swaying from the Duke of Edinburgh.
The crowd amplified further when he struck up the chords to his classic song All Night Long, causing Prince George to dance and wave his flag alongside his sister Charlotte.
The King himself also got to his feet to dance – as did the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
Reflecting on Charles’ new role backstage ahead of his performance, Richie said: ‘I think he’s going to bring a new flavour.

‘I’m going say this to you honestly, a lot of people don’t know this about him, but he has an amazing sense of humour that we haven’t seen yet, so I think we may in the future see a little bit of a glimpse of that – and of course, inclusiveness.’
Richie revealed that he immediately jumped at the chance to perform at the celebratory concert, saying: ‘The answer no matter what you had planned for that day, the answer is yes right away. And then the second thing that comes up is you start thinking: “Well, wait a minute, what am I going to wear?”‘
The singer admitted he did initially question if it was a joke but felt ‘honoured’ when it was confirmed to be true.
‘It’s an honour because it’s every 80 years, except for the Queen who just took it all the way to the end. But I mean, this is amazing,’ he said.
The singer added: ‘He’s throwing a party, think about that. This is unusual. I understand this has not happened this often where you have this kind of thing after the big one. So I’m very happy about this. He’s very loose.’
