King Charles has vented his frustration over a leaking pen during a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland, the second time in recent days he has shown visible irritation during such matters.
Charles, who visited Northern Ireland as part of a tour of the United Kingdom to mourn his mother Queen Elizabeth, was greeted by cheering crowds and speeches of welcome before making his own pledge to the region.
Shortly afterwards, as he signed a visitors’ book in front of cameras at Hillsborough Castle near Belfast, Charles reacted in frustration when a pen he was using leaked onto his hand.
“Oh God, I hate this (pen)!” Charles said, standing up and handing the pen to his wife and Queen consort Camilla.
“Oh look, it goes everywhere,” Camilla said as Charles wiped his fingers.
“I can’t stand this… every stinking time,” Charles said as he walked away.

Speaking before he was made king, a former aide told Reuters that Charles could be funny, but he was also terse and demanding.
On Saturday, as he signed documents in London, an irritated Charles motioned for aides to help when a pen holder on the table got in his way.
When he filled out the documents on Tuesday, he also used the wrong date before checking with an aide who told him it was September 13, not September 12.
