Despite her long reign, the Queen had few outbursts to rival King Charles’s irritation with stationery
In the days since his mother died, King Charles appeared to lose his temper on a couple of occasions, leaving people taken aback by his outbursts.
At the accession council last Saturday, an irritated Charles had signalled for aides to move a pen holder and pens that had got in his way as he signed documents. Then four days later while on a trip to Northern Ireland he reacted after the pen he was using leaked on him.
