Charles is known to carry his own fountain pen for when he is frequently called on to sign visitors' books during royal visits.
Last September, Charles tried to sign a visitor’s book at Hillsborough Castle near Belfast, but his pen didn’t work, much to his annoyance.
Unlucky Charles had reacted with frustration after the pen he was using leaked on him.
Thankfully the day of the coronation was not so difficult as his pen did work as normal - although he did have trouble screwing the lid back on.

He then signed copies of the oaths, presented by the Lord Chamberlain, while the choir sang.
