I'm from a country who had many past turbulent times with the UK , and caused us much hardship. However in saying that, King Charles III lost his father just over a year ago and now lost his mother. He has not got any time to mourn, due to being whisked away to travel to different countries (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England), dealing with all the ceremonies, Harry and his wife, newly crowned King, lack of sleep etc. etc. etc. Anyone with morals would not have taken this video, of a man who just lost his beloved mother, who I'm sure is under severe pressure and lacking sleep, he is human, give the man a break in his hour of need.

This happened in Hillsborough in Northern Ireland. I live nearby and to be honest it's a shame that this moment earned so much attention. Despite having lost his mother so recently he was very attentive to the gathered crowds and spent many hours in both Hillsborough and Belfast performing his duties. He had flown in from Edinburgh on the morning after having paid a public vigil to his mother in that city the day before. That was preceeded by many long hours of having to guard his private grief in public. He must have been exhausted and highly stressed. That he lost it over a pen in such circumstances is hardly criminal. While in Northern Ireland he held warm meetings with local politicians and most notably Sinn Féin. It was such an historic day and full of extraordinary moments. It seems like a such a shame that the incident with the pen dominated the snippets of international coverage. Big deal. The bigger deal is that the new King spoke and exhanged real pleasantries with Sinn Féin and shared a genuine hug with the President of Ireland. Who could have foreseen a day in which the Sinn Féin leadership would attend such an event and acknowledge the Queen's contribution to reconciliation on the island of Ireland? It was unprecedented.

The question is, can he imagine how much older people of his country are going to suffer this winter because they won't be able to pay their energy bills? And the answer is no, he has never being cold in his life, he has never being worried about feeding his family. And that's the reason why he gets mad at a pen that doesn't work, because he's a brat

The mind will look for any reason to "Break Down" at moments like this. I remember when my father died I felt emo but I didnt really express any emotion, then 2 days after I had burned some toast in the pan, and I cried for hours.

When I do something wrong in college, I randomly got upset over Elizabeth’s death and got support from my teacher Sophie

[@adeptavatar9394]

One would think that the king would not be given a faulty pen for such an important occasion. Why would they even use a pen that could do that? I would be frustrated too, there's no excuse for it. Almost like someone was playing a joke on him, because surely they would not give the king a lame pen. But it happened!

[@Ghet104]

Not a Camilla fan but i really liked how she took over for her husband after he had to stand up cause he was so stressed and couldn't deal with that "leaky pen"

He reminded me soooo much of his Father, The Duke of Edinburgh, during this moment. Not to mention, the very same thing happened when he made his first public address while Prince William was there and they had to regroup suddenly. Oh and he IS human. I don't see the King being wrong footed here.

It's history literally being recorded. It used to be that there were biographers, etc, who would have had to stand around and write everything down.... NOW, they can simply record it, then write it down later.

He’s simply a human being under an enormous amount of stress and scrutiny. I can only sympathise with him.

He also likes to shoot poor animals and called killing animals "romantic" because he is a hunter… The queen at least loved animals

He’s clearly got a lot on his mind! Mother died days ago, becoming the new king, and loads of other big life changes! He’s human and has every right to be as frustrated as he is

[@spectrum_98]

All I see is a normal human being getting frustrated with a pen leaking ink all over his hand... It is actually frustrating and I would be more annoyed tbh😂 I don't see him getting mad at any employee, because I wouldn't like it at all if that happened.. He was just frustrated with a broken pen.. This isn't an official event so he's just being a human away from cameras, not a king.. He has just lost his mother , he's grieving on the inside and obviously taking out on trivial things He is also probably too overwhelmed and stressed about becoming king and I don't think he's getting any sleep with all the flights and services+ official events and meetings he has had to attend since Thursday ... He's literally having to grieve his mother in public, not one moment of private grief... That just breaks any human! Last but not least, he's 73 ..Cut him a little slack I'm no royalist, I'm human who has been through grief and all this is normal
