King Charles III appeared to bring his own pen to his first visit to Wales today, days after he swore at a pen during a royal visit. The new monarch, who was visiting Cardiff for the first time since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday, was captured on video this week appearing to become frustrated while signing a visitors' book during a visit to Northern Ireland.
He was heard telling aides “I can’t bear this bloody thing” after a pen he was using appeared to leak and Charles got confused about the day's date. You can read more about that here.
And the new king seemed to have learned from the incident as he appeared to take a pen out from the inside of his jacket pocket to sign the book near the end of the Llandaff service before handing it to his wife to sign and putting it back in his pocket.
