Who wouldn’t be a bit grumpy if they were forced all over the place to sign a book when your mums funeral needs arranging.
His mother just died, and hes been working non stop for 4 days… Hes been from balmoral to london to edinburgh to london again to wales and to northern ireland. And hes 73. I would be tired too. And that pen would have flown through the room.
Edit: Wow the hate this comment illicits
The man seems very particular about his pens. This is like the 4th or 5th distinct clip, in different situations, where he is complaining about a pen. Pen-makers of Britain, better get on this, or it will be Off with Your Heads.
His mum’s just died and I imagine it’s been fucking chaos.
Tbh, I hate getting ink all over my hands too 😂
For everyone involved, this has never happened before. The custom of having the English monarch die has become ancestral.
Not that I’m here to defend this man, but… did anybody else catch that the pen leaked? When a pen leaks on me I get a bit grumpy too. And it looks like a fountian pen, which god do those things make a mess when they leak…
I’d probably be a little cranky if I got handed a shitty leaky fountain pen and fucked up the date too.
That was a very human moment IMO
Wait till he tries to change the royal duvet cover.
Somebody give him a button that says “I’m new and I’m learning”
Just use DocuSign…
I mean his mom just died, she was the Queen, and now he’s become King.
He’s probably sick of paperwork. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out he’s been doing paperwork basically all day every day since she died.
I take care of mature adults for a living. I often feel that 70ish year olds have a the hardest time with aged parents dying. I think for them death now feel so close and inevitable. When 70 year olds die their 30/40/50 year old children handle It much better.
Aging is hard.
Edit: I can’t spell on mobile.
I remember when my father died- only 15 minutes into the receiving line at the wake and I was over having to have people say, “sorry” blah blah and shake hands and then paperwork with the funeral director, church, casseroles…. It’s like being thrust into the spotlight when you feel the least like seeing anyone let alone sooo many people you didn’t know or remember and multiply that by a factor of 100 when you’re from a small town and your dad was involved in tons of charity work/organizations so you’d get it even when you went to get a loaf of bread.
I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Oh no the man had a human moment. So fucking what? Most people get annoyed by a small thing once in awhile. For him it’s a leaky pen. For you it might be a crooked painting.
Tbf his mother did just die ……
Ol girl forging the rest of the signature!
His Mum died and he never even got a day to mourn and rest. The whole thing seems pointlessly cruel. Do we really need these events every single day? He is also what 75? Dude is tired.
Ok I don’t necessarily want to defend them outright but in this video seems a bit different from the others to me. In the way that I’m sure he’s going through a lot and people grieve and deal with pressure in different ways. I’m sure he’s under an immense amount of pressure and reacted at the slightest thing. For me at least he gets a freebie on this one cause I feel like he’s still going through it but if this were a year from now I would feel differently
Edit: Also why was there a hidden camera in there?? Are they living in an Airbnb???
Dudes mum just died, the eyes of the entire world are on him, he fucked up the date and now he’s got fountain pen ink all over him.
Honestly he’s handling it pretty well, I’d be flipping tables by this point.
Meanwhile Camila is like: “BEEN PRACTICING THIS SIGNATURE FOR DECADES BAYBEEEEE!!!”
I do feel kinda bad for the man he hasn’t been given 5 minutes to grieve and he’s having all these things he’s gotta do shoved in his face, I can imagine his tolerances are quite low
He needs time to grieve properly. He lost his father last year, he lost his mother few days ago. And now he’s king and must do everything expected of him. He hasn’t had time to grieve properly. He needs time to himself. He’s 73, I have no doubt his parents’ deaths must got him thinking about his own mortality. That’s too much negative emotions being bottled up. Way too much for anyone to handle. Its bound to affect his behaviour in one way or another. You can see it in his eyes. Those eyes are just waiting to burst out in tears.
That’s why I don’t mind Camilla; when Charles is throwing his toys out of the buggy she just nips in and gets shit done
