To think publishing the video of King Charles getting annoyed when signing a visitors book today is very unkind?

[PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog]

He has lost both parents in a short time frame, had a disagreement with his own son and taken on a very stressful job at the height of grief. AIBU to think this should not have been made public? Most people would lose their temper at a time like that in their own lives. Why publish this?

He absolutely does have to be on the move. It's his job.

He was in Scotland on Thursday to be with his mother when she died. London the day after to address the nation. Scotland again yesterday to stand over the Queen's coffin. He can't just ignore Wales and NI. He has to be there.

Oh yes!!

Camilla will be bearing the weight...

She needs a good holiday and drowning in exquisite jewels after this!

He does at every opportunity praise her..
He certainly appreciates her.

Given the rigorous schedule I don’t know how he can even stand up straight. Cut the man some slack.

For fucks sake the people who arrange all of this jags ONE job to do no wonder he gets frustrated .

Good post. Leave the poor man alone you mean individuals!

Bollocks! She looks like a concerned wife who knows her husband as been under insane pressure and is wonderfully stepping in to help him with his duties.

He's a bad tempered sod, always has been. And why can't he carry a biro like any other adult male?

He’s a man who has led a life of pampered indulgence for decades. This behaviour just seems ungracious and petulant. And sacking staff so quickly, comes across as hard and uncaring.

She probably spends half her life placating him and calming him down.

FGS leave the poor man alone. He is human, he has just lost is mother and has had to launch himself into a huge round of public duties with no let up to grieve privately. I'm sure the pen will get over it.

😂😂

If I had been forced to do what he has this past week, I’d have most likely fucked the pen across the room! He’s done an insane amount the last few days, he’s likely at the end of his rope, and not one fucker there could give him a working pen.

Maize...

Biros are just as bad!!

Pens leak..

Fountain pens can be incredibly expensive however!
I am shocked his does.

Well I just watched it & it was hardly throwing a strop. He was mildly annoyed as the pen was leaking. I think he was justified tbh.

Someone needs to buy the poor man a nice ballpoint as a coronation gift.

He doesn't seem to enjoy the limelight and he clearly gets irritable when he's under pressure and things don't go to plan. It's the little things that send you over the edge. Plus he's grieving too. I'd probably be exactly the same if a pen leaked all over me, and the ink pot situation was ridiculous.

He chose the pen, it is his special pen.

That video is NOTHING and I hate bad manners!

I don't think a biro is appropriate to sign historical documents which will likely be kept on file for thousands of years.

I doubt he's signing a piece of A4 printer paper. Would a biro even write on parchment?

:) I don't think a biro would work for such an important occasion but pens don't appear to like him.

I forgot Camilla and Charles lived together but apart. I would love to be posh and do that too!

Actually, having seen the video because of this thread, I find myself warming to him.

Oh I thought this would be about the ink well situation the other day. WTF is his issue with pens?😂 Maybe get a bic rather than those poncey ink ones 🤪

Was it really that bad. I know I’ve said worse at times when I wasn’t grieving etc

Ah he needs a new pen

Being an awful jerk is ok I guess

It's not like he said "fucking pen, what a load of shit" and lobbed it at someone. he's just mildly annoyed at the pen.
