King Charles III, who signed the first, found that the pen he was going to use leaked and smeared the ink on his finger. “Oh my god, I hate this (pen)!” The king was heard saying as he stood up and handed the writing instrument to the queen consort, who replied, “Look, he’s been running everywhere.” The whole scene took place in front of the cameras, which recorded another detail. The king entered the date of the visit incorrectly, writing September 12th instead of the 13th, and corrected it on inquiry.
The visit of the King and Queen Consort to Northern Ireland was part of a tour of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which the royal couple undertook these days, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
