I am mateAnybody else disappointed he picked Charles as his regnal name. He should have picked Arthur. I'd have loved to have been living in Arthurian times.

Not as cruel as making two young kids follow their mother's coffin through the streets of London in the full glare of the TV camerasGood speech from him.
Could tell he was holding back tears at the end (understandably).
A televised speech the day after the death of your mother seems cruel, regardless of convention.
If that was your mother would you have wanted to escort her coffin? Child or not?Not as cruel as making two young kids follow their mother's coffin through the streets of London in the full glare of the TV cameras
given some of their subjects the impression that they are better than others and have an inalienable right to disparage others, and assume a perceived moral highground Especially if they share a similar skin-tone.This may sound like a line from Monty Python’s Life Of Brian but what have the monarchy ever done for us ?
nobody has said owt about the queen.Oh and they’ve all surfaced again, they couldn’t even leave it a day…..
I was 15 when my mother died and the last thing I wanted to do was follow her coffin in front of my family, never mind the nationIf that was your mother would you have wanted to escort her coffin? Child or not?
TBH I hope this starts the real debate about the continuing monarchy in 2022, there is no need for it, as - maybe, there once was - at most a European style working establishment & vast majority of the land & estates returned to the people.Excellent reception for the new king. Great to see, he will do his mother proud and be a great king also loved by the people like the queen.
Can you just list a few things nowHave a read. There is plenty of literature out there, you may learn something.
As a British citizen I can campaign to get rid of them in the same way I can campaign for a democratic electoral system.The pro's of moving back to the UK clearly outweighed your hatred of anything royal, correct?
How’s the campaign to end the monarchy going?As a British citizen I can campaign to get rid of them in the same way I can campaign for a democratic electoral system.
Actually you can’t as there is no legal or constitutional frame work that even exists to make such a thing possible.As a British citizen I can campaign to get rid of them in the same way I can campaign for a democratic electoral system.
King Charles will be quaking In his Prada bootsNonsense. You can campaign for anything that takes your fancy.
I don't bear a grudge against the romans, that's not my point. The quote was from Python, the joke being there was a long list of positives the romans brought to the table. I don't see the long list of positives the british aristocracy have brought to the tableWow how to bear a grudge
It was only about 2000 years ago
bloody Romans
Have you ever had to make that decision about what responsibility you want to burden your young children with, as they bury their mother? I have, those kids shouldn't have been made to do that.If that was your mother would you have wanted to escort her coffin? Child or not?
I know mate I was taking the pssI don't bear a grudge against the romans, that's not my point. The quote was from Python, the joke being there was a long list of positives the romans brought to the table. I don't see the long list of positives the british aristocracy have brought to the table
I suppose they helped bring about the class system - a system which ensures the rich stay rich and powerful, and the poor stay poor and weakI don't bear a grudge against the romans, that's not my point.
