Charles has officially been proclaimed King during a meeting of today's historic Accession Council following the death of his mother the Queen.
After giving a speech to those assembled, he sat down to sign official declarations with his pens lined up on an ornate tray that had been placed on the table. However, there appeared to be an awkward moment when the tray got in the King's way as he went to sign the documents - and it seemed he ordered it for it to be taken away. Charles grimaced and pushed the tray before somebody was hand to remove it from the table so he could carrying on with his signing duties.
