For the second time in days, King Charles III has expressed frustration as he had to sign a document with a leaky pen.

The small incident, which visibly greatly irritated the monarch, was captured on video.
King Charles III was visiting Northern Ireland as part of his UK tour to honor his mother’s memory. He has, on many occasions, been greeted by enthusiastic crowds.
Nevertheless, his hot temper won out when signing a guestbook in front of the cameras at Hillsborough Castle near Belfast.
The ink from the pencil he used dripped onto his hand.
“Oh my God, I hate that (pen)!” the king blurted as he stood up and handed the pen to his wife, Queen Consort, Camilla.
“Oh look, it goes everywhere,” she added as Charles wiped his fingers.
“I can’t stand this fuckin’ thing…every [sacre] times,” said the king as he walked away.
A former King’s aide once said that this one can be fun, but it’s also hot-tempered and demanding.
During the signing of documents in London on Saturday, the annoyed King motioned for help when a pen holder on the table disturbed him.
When filling out the paperwork on Tuesday, he also used the wrong date, before checking with an assistant who told him it was September 13, not September 12.
