Everyone has a temper, but some are extremely capable of controlling theirs.
Easy to judge from behind our screens. I dont envy his position, really.

Getting ink over your hand is rather unpleasant - especially if you have a representative role and other activities to move onto. Camilla did receive a different pen, so had no issues at all herself.
And, while it of course was not professional. He is under much stress right now, so a moment like this can happen. And I'm sure such minor irritations will happen more often (even under less stressful circumstances).
It's not that he let it ruin the rest of his day.
Every time I've heard PRINCE OF WALES in the last few days I immediately, instinctively think they are discussing Charles...then I remember.
It's going to take some time.
When the King was leaving Westminster Hall today, he looked irritated with something when he was talking to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Any idea what that might have been about?
He seemed fine. It was all very beautiful. I can’t think what he would be irritated with. But he is probably just in a perpetual irritable state at the moment. I mean poor Camilla. Sophie looks past it too today. It’s been a very long week for someone of them, non mores or than Charles.
TBH once the funeral is done I hope the RF as a whole take some time off. Charles too. Yes there will be a lot to plan, organise etc so I am sure he will be busy with meetings but I think the public duties can wait. Parliament will be in recess for the party conferences so other than a weekly telephone call with the PM he could take time off - head away even for a little bit then do things in private. Same for the Wales', Anne and Ed and Sophie. Personally I'd be quite happy if next time we saw them was Remembrance Day.
Definitely. I hope they can take a bit of time off for themselves the next few days until they have to appear again. I know Charles has the visit to Wales on Friday, but, hopefully, a day out of the public eye tomorrow will give him some respite. Same goes for Saturday - just clear his schedule until he has to be back at Buckingham Palace on Sunday for the diplomatic reception.
The Daily Mail has photos of the King and Queen returning to Highgrove and Raymill respectively after the service - the King is still in his RAF uniform.
I imagine the Queen wants to see her children and grandchildren and the King just wants some private time.
When Charles has his trooping the colour do we expect to see him and his family like the Queen did before covid with alot of her family

This will really be the 'smaller royal family' that he allegedly wants time to be seen.
I expect Camilla, William, Catherine, Sophie, Edward, Anne, Tim, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester (maybe) and The Duke of Kent (definitely as he will still be the Colonel of the Scots Guards).
With two regiments now without a royal colonel - The Grenadiers and the Welsh - it will be interesting who he appoints to those roles. Had Harry not left he would probably have taken over the Welsh Guards from his father and we all know why Andrew lost the Grenadiers.
I do wonder who he will appoint - probably Camilla and Catherine will get one each.

Could Sir Timothy Laurence be appointed? Officially he is not royal but his is a member of the royal family as the husband of the Princess Royal - and he has had a navy career (just like the Duke of Edinburgh - so that shouldn't be a disqualification for an Army regiment).
Glad to read this. They must be in desperate need for downtime.
I have not adjusted to Camilla as “The Queen.” My first thought was: what? That’s not possible….Then, it clicked in….
She is being officially called "The Queen Consort", but some members of the forum insist on using the unofficial style "The Queen".
Yes it is serious. Charles has always held himself to a high standard and nearly everything he is signing is on parchment and will end up with a seal or, in books with heavy and expensive "paper", all of which are historic, legal, constitutional or parts of all three They will all be part of history so when my ink pen squirted I was narked but able to take out another piece of paper and start again.Is it really that serious for him to respond to that?! I mean come on who hasn't dealt with a leaky pen before?. I bet Camilla found the minor incident abit funny, not hahaha funny but you know what I mean.
Yes I am sure he is both mentally and physically exhausted which is why I smiled and nodded to myself when Charles headed off to Highgrove and Camilla to Raymill. Charles has always decompressed in solitude and Camilla probably bakes at Raymill.This is why I think he could have used a couple more private days. There's too much stress (for anyone, really), and where his mother had astounding public self-control and the anomaly of being relatively unflappable, Charles has fully resumed the ancient family temper.

I had a smile at the seemingly confused pundits, royal reporters, domestic and international anchors are getting themselves confused about Camilla's title. It's clear as day that in royal and aristocratic when they marry, just like the rest of us plebs, they take their husbands title. So it is King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla.

We saw irritation with the King, when he had to sign a Golden Book with a leaking pen. It struck me how calm, self-controlled and poised Queen Camilla remained. As if her unperturbability calmed the King (or was a reminder to him to follow her example).

Looking very far into the future and hopefully in 2047 Charles will still be on the throne and celebrating his Silver Jubilee when do we expect it to be with September 8th Anniversury of his mothers death and October-December the weather might not be great
