King Charles appeared quite annoyed as both a pen box and an inkpot were placed on the small desk leaving him little space to sign the big document that he had to sign on the desk.
There were varied reactions on social media to the incident. While some found the moment humorous, others were critical.
“Given the situation, I would be annoyed as well,” said a user.
“First day on the job and already he’s fed up. LOL,” wrote another.
