"these inbred, pedophilic, half alive cretins are your monarchy! They are your betters, bow to them and pay their bills!"

It is absolutely moronic that we haven't dragged every king on earth off his throne, made them private citizens and kicked them off the government payroll

Edit: for anyone downvoting, my comment was light. What I actually believe is that once they are dragged them off the throne, they should be executed and tossed in the river. But I know that's a bit far for 2024

Still more respectable than the previous US President that people actually chose.

Well I didn't vote for him

I can’t speak from the British Commonwealth perspective, but from a Swedish perspective my opinion is this regarding having a monarch:

Yeah, it might not reflect our modern values well, but since the (Swedish) monarch is mostly ceremonial and completely unpolitical, there’s actually quite little to hate about it. They’re just the mascot of the country. There’s far more pressing issues in our country than having that confused old guy as head of state.

At least he doesn’t possess nuclear launch codes.

Let's see where we're at after November before we start shit talking too much.
There's a very high chance that if Trump wins, he'll make himself a monarch

Better to have a king than a Trump or Bush.

Would be weird for the longest serving monarch to be replaced by the shortest serving one.

Which raises a good question... who was the shortest serving British monarch?

Oh, of COURSE there's a Wiki for that...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_monarchy_records

"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]"

Queen Elizabeth II died 9/8/2022, so Charles has already been in 514 days. He's good...

If you are generally morbidly curious about odds.

And assuming speculation is right that it's bowel cancer

Depends on what stage, but odds are given the level of care Royals get they've probably caught it at stage 1.

That's a 55% chance he's got 9 or 10 years for something else to get there first.

His father lived to 99 and he's currently 75.

A very old friend at 89 told me they had cancer a week before his 90th. They then laughed and said it was too late to the party.

They were right in the end, it was his heart a few years later. Thankfully he was still pretty active and living life until the last couple of weeks. Great guy, genuinely kind and wise. The phrase he gave for his memorial was "It's only sad to die if you haven't lived. I've lived."

Eh, fuck that limey ole pedophile protecting twat. I’d be happy to see him gone.

His eldest son William iirc.

Elizabeth II and then all the way backwards to king Athelstan.

His eldest son, William.

Weird, I clicked "next episode" and the title says "Bloody republican overthrow"?
