thread for KING CHARLES III (regnal name george vii)

Really ups the ante on anti-monarchic sentiments, just behind xyzzzz's wish for a string of 3-day reigns resulting in a year of bank holidays.

nerd

Wonder what number I am

King Noodle, Vegas lounge singer

25. Master Bloby

32. Mr. Gareth "Gaz" Coombes

Just need to get rid of numbers 1 to 4 for a full-on popular revolution.

wait, there could be a "King Archie" someday?

There's been one of those already.

Princess Royal is no.8, she and her progeny are ahead of Prince Andrew and his now, it got changed a few years back, because of Woke

And missed off 25. John Goodman

26. Sir Mixalot

the banter timeline demands that king charles iii (regnal name king george vii) dies within a month, king william dies falling down the stairs of westminster abbey immediately after he is crowned, and the boy king george begins his reign of terror before the year is out

I'm on Team Savannah

Princess Royal is no.8, she and her progeny are ahead of Prince Andrew and his now, it got changed a few years back, because of Woke

Seemingly not retrospectively applied? Or not so far up the chain anyway. Davina Windsor and Rose Gilman's kids (born early 2010s, girl then boy in each case) got flipped in order after the new rule, but John ReidAnne didn't get bumped up. I have no idea who any of these people are.

they're our betters iirc

I like how they all have stupid titles and Zara is basically "Mike Tindall's missus"

What if Sienna Mapelli Mozzi went on a murderous rampage, like Alec Guiness in "Kind Hearts and Coronets"?

I have no insight into the constitutional or political repercussions, but. That would be pretty fucking badass.

feel like alec guinness was the one (or many) NOT going on a murderous rampage tbrr

Unfortunate n-word usage in the final scene of Kind Hearts and Coronets too, a perfect template for multiple regicide*.

* Is it regicide when you're bumping off the presumptive heirs and not the regent?

I don’t know who most of these ppl are, but thread has delivered excellent lols nevertheless. Keep up the good work, britishes!

Pregicide

The royals should capitalize on the success of Netflix’s The Last Kingdom and bring back Aethlings. And people whose names use that ae character.

Wiliæm

Kæþerine

Ændrew

PÆdophile

Unfortunate n-word usage

Not an uncommon occurrence in the British Royal Family I'd have thought.

lol (xp)

Question: Am I reading the list correctly that William's children are ahead of Harry in succession? Is that because he "bowed out" of the royalty or is that the way it normally works?

That’s the way it normally works

Yeah, it's how William and Harry were always ahead of Charles's siblings when the queen was queen.

Bring back the good old days when jealous uncles would murk little shits who stood in their way.

Genuine lol at that Oblivion tweet

i for one fully support king charles iii (regnal name george vii)'s all-natural approach to cancer treatment

a daily regime of green tea with ginseng and a splash of non-GMO honey, and you'll be right as rain old lad!

don't forget the adrenochrome glands of some young children

now we the sinister truth about what goes on in Poundbury

*know*

it worked for Steve Jobs after all

My aunt knew a homeopathy 'practitioner'. She came down with breast cancer, caught early.

Refused medical treatment. Died earlier this year, in her early 40s.

I thought the Duke of Edinburgh and the Earl of Wessex were one and the same?

Fun fact: if Charles had had a fatal polo accident back in the 70s, we'd now be the subjects of King Andrew

sad to see royalty forced into a prostate position like that

Prescient.

thoughts and prayers

King Charles has reportedly begun work on his succession plan, sparking fears his cancer diagnosis may be ‘more dangerous than we have been led to believe.’

Earlier this month Charles revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer after being admitted to hospital for a separate issue regarding an enlarged prostate.

The type of cancer has not been revealed to the public, but it was reportedly caught early and the King has been undergoing ‘regular treatments’ ever since.

Nevertheless, the issue has reportedly prompted the King to start formalising his succession plans earlier than intended and ensure that Prince William is at the heart of them, sparking rumours that his illness could be more serious than we have been led to believe.

fuckin hell some twist if he gives it all to the heir and first in line

Rumours are that he is just taking herbs and homeopathy and refusing chemo, it would be very much in character and there's nobody around to tell him not to do that, I guess.

Only God.
