thread for KING CHARLES III (regnal name george vii)

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?

Nicholas Witchell is retiring this year

William is 41 btw.

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.

(this is both a counter to your first point and a confirmation of your second)

how is there "a youth problem" ffs they keep breeding

I can't see the death of the monarchy at all within the next 25 years. There's no political will for it at all, it is key to all the main parties' ideology now, even the snp if it came to the crunch. If one of the main parasites dies or goes senile they'll just swiftly find another hamfaced cypher to fill their place, and the media will bow and scrape and call it the most important things that's ever happened in history etc. Since 1997 there has been a pact between the establishment, the general media, the press barons and the main parties through their security handlers about this, it's not going to change.

I suppose there's not many of them over 10 but under 40.

the "would you prefer President Johnson/Corbyn/Ant & Dec" argument is bullshit like all pro-monarchy arguments, but it probably doesn't hurt the cause of bootlickers that there are no figures in the UK's current political landscape that anybody would want to elect as head of state

"Since 1997 there has been a pact between the establishment, the general media, the press barons and the main parties through their security handlers about this, it's not going to change."

erm, one of the main parties did break with this for a while, and there was a referendum on breaking up the union. It didn't go the way a lot of us wanted but it's hardly like some sort of post-97 conspiratorial consensus at work here that can't be ever broken up. We are seeing the cracks all around us.

On Monday, deputy first minister John Swinney told BBC Radio 4 that the SNP would continue to argue in favour of keeping the monarchy.

“It's what we argued in the referendum in 2014, and it's what we will continue to argue,” he said.

The closer any independence party gets to power the more likely it is they will keep the establishment line on the monarchy, imo.

in their origin days the SNP was more concerned with BE having a more Anglo-Scottish identity than anything to do with independence.

Edward VIII doesn't really count, and I don't reckon he's going to make it as far as William IV

what do the bookies say?

You could choose to elect some cunt or you could elect people like Mary Robinson or Michael D.

well sure, i guess what i'm thinking is the pantomime of being a monarchy is not conducive to producing those kinds of people

There's stuff going on in Scotland re the monarchy that's unique to Scotland that the SNP has decided to tiptoe around for electoral reasons. Having a King of Scotland again would be quite amusing though.

Idi Amin apparently had 40 official offspring so plenty to choose from!

the Bolsheviks got a bit carried away with the spring cleaning at times, doing in their parasites in a messy cellar execution deserves top marks imo. One of the great moments of 20th c history that alas never happened in the UK.

So Kate’s uncle Gary is now in Celebrity Big Brother. Perhaps that’s why they’ve all gone to ground.

Oh ffs apols!

Katy’s uncle Gary has a Big brother Larry in five days from he’s gonna marry

If Charles croaks soon enough (odds look favorable) y'all will be rid of a wanker & crank notorious crank. That's great. But when his kid takes over the throne Charles is keeping warm don't be surprised if there's a much warmer response to his ascension than the synthetic enthusiasm the media drummed up for Charles. Because he's young and he will succeed Charles, who would make anyone look good by comparison.

Prince William is set to take almost two weeks off from royal duties again with the royal diary showing zero engagements for William until the middle of March.

William, 41, made just one engagement last week after pulling out of two major events at the last minute over what Kensington Palace called a “personal matter”.

The last-minute scratching of engagements sparked a media frenzy and renewed concerns about his wife Princess Catherine’s health.

Since the Princess underwent abdominal surgery at the London clinic in January, coincidentally the same hospital where King Charles underwent the prostate surgery that showed he had cancer, the palace has provided little update on Kate’s condition.

here's an update: she's dead

They're all dead, prove me wrong

They’re transferring Chuck’s brain into Kate’s body obv

the palace are still processing the terrible news that she died on the crapper ;;

CyberKate undergoing final testing, unfortunately it keeps making racist comments in public instead of in private

She's wearing sunglasses, which is a bad sign, e.g. Princess Margaret at the Queen mother's 101st birthday.

not necessarily a negative in the torrid political environment of 2024-era britain xp

The Chinese are currently denying all reports of a royal family-targeted virus

Anyone know a good Hanover cure?

nice

Very dismal to see ITV willing to let a man who assaulted his wife make it into the Celebrity Big Brother house and potentially win a glorified popularity contest

don't they do that in all the reality vote-off contests?

Well, well…

No comment from Kensington Palace tonight after at least 3 international pictures agencies refuse to distribute this morning’s photo of Kate and her children. Some of them (@AP ) have claimed “the source [the palace] has manipulated the image”. pic.twitter.com/ppOwDtPr9P

terrible to subject those innocent children to fake ai pics of their dead mother with unfeasibly long arms.
