Moment King Charles III furiously motions for aide to move ink pot as he signs proclamation. King Charles III made history today as he was proclaimed the new King - but viewers of the momentous occasion found themselves distracted when the new monarch suddenly gestured 'furiously' to one of his aides. As he went to sign the historic Proclamation, the King frantically motioned to an aide to move the pen's box from his desk, which viewers described as far too small for the huge document and stationery. The fountain pen set he used to sign the momentous document was a gift from his sons Princes Harry and William.
