1. When has Chuckles EVER known how to read a room ??

As ex-pats, we just can't . . . .

So, we decided that the royal family ended when Her Majesty, the Queen, Elizabeth II, passed away. Chuckles possesses none of the qualities that we so admired and cherished in the Queen. AND if he thinks for one moment that anyone will accept that horse-faced, alcoholic, slag (look it up) as queen, he is out of his mind. Queen Elizabeth decided on that title and Chuckles agreed to accept that. He cannot, now, change the decree.

It's all down hill from here.

2. "horse-faced, alcoholic, slag"

[CatWoman]

3. now you're making me laugh

I was trying to be semi serious

[Vinca]

25. OMG - I really needed a good laugh.

[mdelaguna]

7. Gotta agree.

[IcyPeas]

8. Yes, everything you said, plus Diana was so beloved

The way she was treated was pretty humiliating.

And I agree, the queen had some good qualities and I don't see Charles having that. And he gets a big fat zero for charisma.

[malaise]

4. It's so over he'll never get it

Eff all royalty

[Celerity]

12. +100000

5. I am convinced that he will be Charles The Last. The monarchy ends here.

William is no longer the cute kid but a disgruntled-looking middle-aged bald guy, so he's nothing to look forward to.

[Achilleaze]

6. Expect a sternly worded letter

from the DLMABGADS (Disgrunted-Looking Middle-aged Bald Guys Anti-Defamation Society).

9. they focus on Kate for some glamour, some events involving the king, Kate dominate the pictures

I'm sure when Charlotte becomes a teen, the media will turn towards her. too bad Meghan left, she would have been their glamour star.

[hedda_foil]

17. They do focus on Kate, but she's turned into a sourpuss too.

Whatever warmth she may have had, the monarchy has drained out of her.

[BlackSkimmer]

24. They have to be cute?

Lol, who knew?

[edbermac]

10. A dozen people holding signs?

Wow. Looks like the end of the monarchy.

[Happy Hoosier]

15. Yup. Can Oliver Cromwell II be far behind!? LOL. NT

[Polybius]

11. Wow

Seems pretty rude.

[JI7]

13. Shouldn't they be telling this to their elected officials ?

the ones with actual decision making powers ?

[dickthegrouch]

14. Am I missing something?

Chuckles was always going to be King (unless he died before his mother).

If he's not their King, they must be furriners

[panader0]

18. Was TFG your president?

[dickthegrouch]

20. No, I'm A furriner :)

If I could have voted, he would not have been the person I voted for.

I have been known to tell any Republican asking for my support in any way that the only thing they would ever get from me is my utter contempt.

In as much as TFG was the president, however illegitimately, he was all of our president.

All of which entirely misses the point: Charles was not voted upon to be King. Unless the UK Government writes a new constitution, the next monarch, given its rules of succession, is all-but a foregone conclusion.

[Goodheart]

16. When will one of these "royal" jackasses publicly state

that the monarchy is a disgusting memorial to a time when humans were not considered equal? And a propagation, to boot.

"I, Charles, renounce this monstrous institution."

[lees1975]

22. Exactly.

I don't get why there's such an interest and willingness to waste so much money on something so anti-democratic and anti-freedom that it stifles even those who are directly part of it.

[mainer]

19. Harry and Meghan was the best thing to happen to the monarchy

They were wildly popular throughout the commonwealth and among minorities, the modern face of Briton. The Royal Family killed that golden goose.

[roamer65]

21. He could have made some inroads with people by foregoing a coronation.

But I don’t see Chuckles being that humble.

[Bucky]

23. The only King I care about warned us against stepping on his blue suede shoes.

But that said, if they can win an election over the matter, so be it. Pretty consistently Brits seem to favor keeping a monarchy by supermajorities. Monarchy is, of course, a very silly way of choosing a head of state. But arguing against something that's stable and actually working quite well is rarely gonna be that successful.
