King Charles III frustrated with leaking pen at Northern Ireland signing ceremony
King Charles III has lost his temper with a leaking pen while being filmed at a signing ceremony at Northern Ireland's Hillsborough Castle.
The new King was signing the visitors' book in front of cameras when it appeared to leak on his hand, just after he was corrected on what date it was.
"Oh god I hate this [pen]," he said as he stood up and handed the pen to his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, for her to sign the book.

Just before King Charles III raised the leaking pen, he had asked if the date was September the 12th.
"13th, sir," he was told by a male staffer.
"Oh god, I put the wrong date down," the monarch responded.
"You signed the 12th earlier," Camilla then said.
