thread for KING CHARLES III (regnal name george vii)

*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

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.

King Charles III revealed an unexpected source of spiritual relief after cancer diagnosis

The monarch sought for spiritual guidance from Greek Orthodox monk in these difficult times.

In a surprising turn of events, King Charles III has reportedly turned to a Greek Orthodox monk for spiritual advice following his recent cancer diagnosis. The monarch, known for his spiritual sophistication, has sought counsel from Archimandrite Ephraim, whom he has been friends with for over 25 years.

The King's friendship with the monk deepened after the death of Princess Diana in 1997, and it is believed that Charles contacted Elder Ephraim, 67, for guidance shortly after receiving his diagnosis earlier this month. The Abbot has spoken out about their friendship for the first time, stating, "We have a very good rapport."

Charles, 75, has his own quarters at Vatopedi on Mount Athos in Greece, where he has visited several times since his diagnosis. The King is said to have a deep appreciation for ancient rituals and spiritual practices, often rising at 4am to follow the liturgy.

Despite the diagnosis, sources close to the King are optimistic about his recovery. One source told The Sun, "Charles has a spiritual sophistication, a spiritual life... I believe he'll overcome it."

men will literally become greek orthodox to avoid going to chemo

spiritual sophistication is a hell of a euphemism

Well, just as long as it isn't a Catholic monk I guess...

"The King is said to have a deep appreciation for ancient rituals and spiritual practices."

the rumour I heard was that he got a servant to hold the royal member when he had to give a urine sample

Can't be too careful with the crown jewels.

Need a Kate Middleton thread

cant find one

a classic one for her sister though

BREAKING: Queen Camilla is taking a break from public duties for some "downtime", which means that NONE of the four most senior royals - King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton - are working right now.

Workshy layabouts.

hope they can show the proper documentation so they can continue receiving benefits

"Have you done any work paid or unpaid in the last two weeks?"

The shortest-reigning monarch was Lady Jane Grey who ruled for 9 days from 6 July until 15 July 1553 (although she was only proclaimed queen by the Lords of the council on 10 July). Her husband Lord Guildford Dudley was her consort for the entire reign, making this the shortest tenure of the male consort of a female monarch. Note: Jane's reign is disputed.

The king with the shortest definitively known reign was Edgar the Ætheling who ruled for 2 months, 12 days in 1066 before submitting to William the Conqueror. Some records indicate that Sweyn Forkbeard reigned for only 40 days in 1013–4.[7]

Well he's got past all that at least

Can I just say Sweyn Forkbeard is a pretty badass name?

his son was a Cnut

Not for the last time either.

Æthyll do it

Sweyn Forkbeard is really not much different to being called Steve Mullet tbh

It's good to see Charles' latest spiritual advisor is (probably) not a paedophile

Dead yet?

the royal family is a gigantic bloodsucking organism which can never die, no matter how many limbs abscise

Gotta say this is the closest it's ever been to death. Queen gone, Charles dying, Kate possibly gone.

Whole it's called establishment for a reason these things can all be swept away quickly.

What if the end of the monarchy is just all of them kind of wandering off https://t.co/OC8kUeHmWq

you don't gotta hand it to qe2 except you kind of do: i don't believe the thing she was doing is something others will be able to do or will actually want to do

ie committing to the bit

Thank you Liz for showing us the way (by dying)

God help you all if these fuckos are no longer paraded around to be the center of attention at various “ceremonies” and shit

I'll take the risk.

Just get Ant & Dec in.

If you don’t appreciate essential workers don’t be surprised when they start leaving in droves

"The royals have got a youth problem. Or more to the point, a lack-of-youth problem. That was even more painfully visible this week without William or Catherine when the royals gathered for the memorial service in Windsor. They looked older and frailer. Not to say paler."

Paler, you say?
