Yeah, apparently he was keeping his temper in check to keep his mom off of his back. She's dead now and his true colors are showing. Yikes.

Eh, my parents of the same age have less ability to manage day to day stresses now as well. I think it’s normal with that age group. Honestly, the stuff that stresses my parents or in laws out is pretty silly so I can see a pen getting to him. Obviously not great behavior befitting a monarch though.

Pfffft. Crazy talk. He's gonna be trippin.

I hope this is true but if you read any of the numerous letters he wrote 10-15 years ago, he actually isn't very bright and may be a little nuts.

He seems to have a low IQ. Just another spoiled brat who was mostly ignored by his busy parents.

What a child he is.

Good thing his post is ceremonial and largely dictated by protocol. The Queen, by her own admission, was not given a proper education by her parents (she and her sister were tutored at home) and yet she still managed her job quite well. Charles will be fine - they aren't giving him the nuclear codes.

Okay so I am anti royal family but I think this behavior is just typical frustration. I mean if you kept trying to sign stuff and the ink kept leaking all over would you get irritated? Maybe that’s just me who would. Plus, you know, mom dying, family drama, stress about being king, etc.

A lot of monarchs are dicks, I'd say this is pretty par for the course.

Henry VIII would have had someone thrown in the Tower over this.

Love the ... every stinking time. Maybe they're messing with him by always giving him a leaking pen, lol. Or it's just that fancy pen with the calligraphy tip that always leaks.

He’s temperamental child... with a short fuse. His behavior with a pen speaks volumes. Poor little rich boy.

Diana was a saint next to him.

I thought the pen thing was funny and a natural reaction, and doesn't mean much.

But unlike the Queen, I don't think Charles will keep his opinions out of things, and that ultimately will be his downfall (in popularity). I like that he's streamlining The Firm.

It's pretty incredible for someone my age (56) to think back on my high school prom in California, which was during the height of the Lady Diana phase, (the taffeta prom dresses were all bows and ruffles), and speculating about the future King Charles and Queen Diana....and here we are, 1/2 of it finally happening...just NOW. Crazy.

I thought his little show of frustration was very amusing. The way he sort of bared his teeth briefly while tapping impatiently at the thing that someone quickly removed from the table.

If I were signing a bunch of paperwork on a tiny uncomfortable desk with an obnoxious pen that leaked everywhere, I too would probably get annoyed.

My experience with British men is they can be incredibly obnoxious. You need to deal with them firmly and not let them walk all over you. At least Charlie boy is sort of cute when he throws a fit.

You probably also said he would never be King.

Do you mean the letters her wrote about climate change, the benefits of organic gardens, sustainable buildings, recycling, and mobility? I am surprised that a board chockablock with liberals wouldn't appreciate it his stance on these concerning features.

As an American -- thank you. I know enough about the royals to cringe at the grand pronouncements about the American no nothings

No that’s not typical frustration - that’s a 4-year-old never taught or forced to regulate his emotions.

You ever seen a President of the United States act that entitled at a signing ceremony?
