A video taken during the accession ceremony for King Charles III shows his majesty in what some are concerned is a moment of unbridled anger. In our current social media age, some people are finding the absolute worst in a little hand-wave.
As King Charles prepared to sit at his desk on September 10 and sign the documents marking his momentous ascension to the throne, only two days after the tragic death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, he waved his hand in a gesture that some felt was an expression of unnecessary anger. He wanted his aides to clear the desk of an inkwell and pen box that, according to Page Six, were gifts from his sons, Princes William and Harry. Charles pointed and waved at the items repeatedly until someone came and moved them away, so he could sit and sign the necessary documents. But this small gesture is enough for many online to jump on his behavior.
“Charles’ brief fury at the pen tray is definitely the highlight of this for me,” one commenter tweeted, to which another replied, “What happened to maintaining his dignity? He was like an enraged toddler.” Others, however, had his back. When one asked why the king couldn’t move the items himself, a commenter replied, “It’s almost like he’s under tremendous pressure and he’s just lost his mother. Grief presents in different ways, but you go off.” Another sympathetically tweeted, “I’m glad people didnt watch me as I grieved a huge loss.”
