“King Charles’s has had a gaffe-laden first week as Britain’s monarch, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last Thursday. It’s going to take a lot of work to shape the monarchy into something that everyone can get behind. But based on his first week in power, looks like King Charles isn’t the guy to do it. In footage since mocked online, Charles became irritated by a leaking fountain pen after writing the wrong date in a visitor’s book. ‘Oh God, I hate this,’ he said. ‘I can’t bear this bloody thing.’
I love how Charles says the pens leak on him all the time. You’re literally the King of England, dude! If you don’t like the pens, get different pens. I’m not an expert in the monarchy, but I’m pretty sure the hierarchy doesn’t go: Prince William, King Charles, and then the guy who buys the pens. Still, I feel kinda bad for him. Because in the old days, the king would’ve never had these issues. There would be no leaking pens. Also the king would never get corrected after writing the wrong date. That just would’ve been the new date.
Maybe King Charles is just stressed out right now. Maybe that’s why this is happening. But if you paid attention to Charles back during his prince days, you would know that this is pretty much how he’s always been. A former royal butler recalled being summoned by Charles to pick up a letter that had fallen into the wastebasket next to him. When I was a kid, I thought kings had to pull swords out of stones. This dude can barely pull his dick out of his own pants?” —Trevor Noah
