English Kings named Charles and dying due to their own stubbornness - name a better duo.

    I’m as happy about a king dying as the next guy but I can’t help hoping that his mortal husk keeps going for a bit longer. A dead king is not worth much when they just make a new and younger guy king.

    The good thing about prince Charles being king is that he is so old and decrepit, there’s no risk of him breathing new life into the monarchy or becoming popular. The current king is an embarrassment to the British state which is good and funny. I don’t know about the next guy in line other than that he’s probably an unlikable posh asshole but he looks reasonably lifelike and the propaganda apparatus might be able to construct a cult of personality around him.

      This.

      If Charles dies, William would become king. William is in his 40s and is tactful and very well respected, especially by the libs. If there’s anyone who could keep up the optics of the monarchy like his grandmother did, it’s him. We would have 45 more years of wholesome 100 state parasite.
