The Ink Pot

Has me cracking up.

Who thought to put it at the side where they sign. They have all moved it. The King wiggling the pens will become a meme...
Then ThenPrince of Wales didnt have a pen 🤣🤣

And The King taking the paperwork... oh shit...here, William, take this...

And then Prince putting the lid back on the ink. You can tell he has kids!

They should have used a bigger table!!

sparklecement · 10/09/2022 10:36

The table is far too wee.

PaperDoves · 10/09/2022 10:37

I actually came to mumsnet just to see if someone was talking about this 🤣🤣

It was just in the way again! Surely they have learnt. He just watched at them!

I actually think he’s struggling a wee bit. Going through all of this when he’d probably rather be at home gathering his thoughts and mourning his mum.

The table set up was a disaster. I guess they didn't do a dry run on this one.

PaperDoves · 10/09/2022 10:39

He keeps pocketing the pen! 😂

gingeristhenewblack43 · 10/09/2022 10:44

I was waiting for someone to knock the ink pot flying!

Then when Charles pushed the tray of pens I thought they were going to end up on the floor 😱

squashyhat · 10/09/2022 10:45

I notice the PoW is a lefty 👋 I hope he didn't smudge.

I thought that - there's a dad tidying up!

He did a very strong hook hand!

Snozzlemaid · 10/09/2022 10:46

Was badly set up and not thought through too well.
But amusing to see Charles' frustration with it.

KindergartenKop · 10/09/2022 10:47

As the parent of a very clumsy child, I was itching to move the ink pot out of the way 🤣

Snozzlemaid · 10/09/2022 10:48

Can you imagine if it had ended up on the floor!

Clunkclicksuckmydick · 10/09/2022 10:49

It was so obvious it has pretty much never been done before (well not by the people there and not televised). Was most amusing how it was slightly awkward!!

And yeah, William is a lefty! Who knew??!

Clunkclicksuckmydick · 10/09/2022 10:49

Snozzlemaid · 10/09/2022 10:48

Can you imagine if it had ended up on the floor!

Or the ink all over the papers!

HappyHamsters · 10/09/2022 10:49

The inkpot was a birthday gift to Charles from William and Harry

IglesiasPiggl · 10/09/2022 10:50

I wonder if there was actually any ink in it or whether it was just for show?

mrsjg · 10/09/2022 10:51

Surely he could have picked it up and handed it to a lackey instead of shooing it away for someone else to remove.

Snozzlemaid · 10/09/2022 10:51

Charles appeared to use it for his pen.

Clunkclicksuckmydick · 10/09/2022 10:52

I thought Charles was going to lose his place in his papers, he seemed to be flicking through at one point.

FMSucks · 10/09/2022 10:53

I felt so sorry for William as I’m a leftie too and those bastard ink pens cause us nothing but problems, I’d say the side of his hand is covered in ink 😤

His reign is going to be plagued by pens.
At every appearance "have we sorted the pens out?" <panics>

William: note to self - get better table for my turn.
