![King Charles Endorses Parker Pens After Viral Leaky Mishap [Video]](https://europenewsvideo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/mp_1032767_0_kingcharlessignsproclamation0910222000bd7e7ace295f49298c4e6b250f3dfacfjpg.jpg)
The Parker Pen Company, an American manufacturer of luxury writing pens, has officially been endorsed by King Charles. Parker is one of 145 companies to receive a Royal Warrant of Appointment on May 12, 2024, according to the Royal Warrant Holders Association.
The news that Parker’s warrant was renewed comes after the King, 75, experienced a hiccup at the start of his reign when he had issues with a leaky fountain pen during a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland in September 2022.
At the time, King Charles could be seen in a video clip shared by ABC News having trouble signing his name before attempting to hand off the writing instrument to Queen Camilla. That’s when he realized his hands were covered in ink.
As both King Charles and Queen Camilla, 76, attempted to clean their hands, he could be heard telling an aide, “I can’t bear this bloody thing! Every stinking time.”
