King Charles Continues His Over-The-Top Frustration Caused By This One Thing

King Charles III should focus on more than a wrongly placed pen tray and an inky finger. According to a May YouGov survey, support for the British monarchy has dropped from 67% to 56% in the past decade. As such, King Charles’ own popularity remains in jeopardy as the world mourns the even-keeled Queen Elizabeth II. Yahoo! reported in 2021 that even other royals were turning against King Charles because of his ongoing anger at his son Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.

However, the “pampered prince” turned fountain pen-hating king is unlikely to change his demeanor at this stage of life. “His pajamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron,” Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, claimed in the documentary “Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm” (via Yahoo!). “The bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be just tepid.” 

Burrell also claimed King Charles employs somebody to squeeze toothpaste onto his brush in the morning, and that the royal once summoned him to his office to pick up a piece of paper that he’d dropped. If his latest outburst over his pen is any indication, we haven’t seen the last of King Charles’ over-the-top displays of entitlement.
