A royal handwriting expert has revealed what kind of monarch King Charles III will be based solely on the way he uses a pen.
Emma Bache has been studying the graphology of letters for over 30 years and said the new King’s widely spaced words could show him as being a ‘sensitive loner’.
She said Charles has ‘leftward leaning letters’ which shows he requires ‘routine and order’.
The award-winning author has scoured hundreds of letters he penned to the public.
Yesterday he suffered a malfunction with a fountain pen and was left looking frustrated after a long few days.
Top graphologist, Mrs Bache, believes that an individual’s brushstrokes can determine their character, and show personality traits.
These include communication style, emotional intelligence and work ethic.
Her insights are taken from small extracts of text, often signatures and small personal notes to individuals.
She added: ‘King Charles can often feel as though the world is against him and the somewhat rigid baseline of the handwriting suggest a man that enjoys and needs security in the form of routine and order.
‘The joined up letters indicate a logic but this can be at odds with his more visionary idealism and intellect, shown in the loops of the taller letters.
‘He can feel tormented and is likely to feel this trait strongly juggling his strong sense of duty and tradition with his more progressive ideas for the future.
‘The leftward leaning letters suggest that he can get bored easily and requires constant intellectual stimulation.
‘There is also a strong stubborn streak and a tendency to become self-defensive if criticised.’
Speaking about Queen Consort Camilla, she said: ‘Camilla’s handwriting also shows a left slant but crucially a bold and definite style. She has an extremely quick mind and is a perfect match for the King with her equally strong sensuality shown through her broad pen strokes.’
She said King Charles’s wife of 16 years will be ‘the discrete power behind the throne.’
She added: “They also share a robust sense of humour which lightens her otherwise somewhat rigid views of the world.
‘The very long lower zone strokes of the letter “y” also point to stubbornness but also a consort that will know her own mind with an emotional robustness to counteract Charles’ sensitivity.
‘The spaces between the individual letters indicate that she is highly intuitive and will understand people’s motives and emotions but also how to behave in any given situation.
‘Fiercely loyal, she is more grounded than the King but will never suffer fools gladly.
‘There is a steely determination, emotional intelligence as well as stamina and courage.
‘Her signature with the large and elaborate capital C as well as the underlining shows that she is not afraid to put herself into a position of authority whilst simultaneously supporting our new King.’
It comes as King Charles III and his sons Prince Harry and William were all part of the procession behind the Queen’s coffin as she made her way to Westminster Hall.
She will lie in state for four days as Royal well-wishers will be able to pay respect to Her Majesty.
