Tension and nerves. The newly proclaimed king lost his temper at a rally at Hillsborough Castle in Belfast, Northern Ireland, at one point blurting out an impulsive “God, I hate this.” The setback that was picked up by the media was due to a small fight he had with a pen that began to leak ink.
It wasn’t the pen, that too. It was the nerves. At the moment in which he passes the papers to his wife, Camilla, for her to sign, the new king realizes the incident and blurts out an unexpected “I can’t stand this damn thing”. This has been collected by People, among other media.
“I can’t bear this bloody thing!”
