Charles, who is about to tour the United Kingdom after ascending to the British throne, was heard exclaiming, "I can't bear this bloody thing" at Northern Ireland's Hillsborough Castle as the pen began leaking over his hand and that of his wife, Queen Consort Camilla.

"Is it September 12?" he asked his aides as he sat at the desk, before acknowledging: "Oh God I've put the wrong date," after being told it was September 13.

"You signed the 12th earlier," Camilla then whispered to her husband.

Later he stood up from the desk and said: "Oh God I hate this, oh look it's going everywhere, I can't bear this bloody thing, what they do every stinking time."

Charles has been cited to have a "sparky temper" but one trusted royal photographer revealed that Camilla has changed her husband for the better.
