Some people disagreed with Hunt's tongue-in-cheek proposal, and social media users were outraged by comments about the slave trade.

Charles realized for the first time that he had entered the date wrong and complained about the pen he was using. "Oh my God, I hate this pen!" he said. Charles stood up, handed his pen to his wife, Queen Camilla, and Camilla said: "Oh, it's all over the place" as her husband wiped his fingers, Charles was seemingly disappointed with the pen.
