This is a brutal synopsis of Royal Family scandals of our neighbors across the big pond.

[anton]

Charles III is an inbred mental defective who’s whole life has been a moral disaster.

“After all, being born into the Royal Family is no qualification for ruling. Besides, who today will try to defend a class-based society?”

King Arthur: Old woman!
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I’m 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I’m 37. I’m not old.
King Arthur: Well I can’t just call you “man”.
Dennis: Well you could say “Dennis”.
King Arthur: I didn’t know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn’t bother to find out, did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the “old woman”, but from behind you looked…
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well, I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how’d you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there’s ever gonna be any progress…
Peasant Woman: Dennis! There’s some lovely filth down here… Oh! How do you do?
[Dennis joins the Peasant Woman in the nearby filth patch]
King Arthur: How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that?
Peasant Woman: King of the who?
King Arthur: The Britons.
Peasant Woman: Who’re the “Britons”?
King Arthur: Well, we all are. We’re all Britons, and I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Didn’t know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
Dennis: You’re fooling yourself. We’re living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working classes…
Peasant Woman: Oh, there you go, bringing class into it again.
Dennis: Well, that’s what it’s all about! If only people would–
King Arthur: Please, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
Peasant Woman: No one lives there.
King Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Peasant Woman: We don’t have a lord.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I told you, we’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort of executive officer for the week…
King Arthur: Yes…
Dennis: …but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting…
King Arthur: Yes I see…
Dennis: …by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs…
King Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: …but by a two thirds majority in the case of more…
King Arthur: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
Peasant Woman: “Order”, eh? Who does he think he is?
King Arthur: I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Well, I didn’t vote for you.
King Arthur: You don’t vote for kings.
Peasant Woman: Well, how’d you become king, then?
[Angelic music plays…]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up!
Dennis: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I’m being repressed!
Arthur: Bloody Peasant!
Dennis: Ooh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That’s what I’m on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn’t you?

To spend this much time on a hate piece is a waste of everyone’s time.

The role of the British Royal Family is likely to become a smaller one in the future, but not for a while. It may take several generations after those living today before the desire and lo’ the need for a Royal Family has been removed.
The Queen’s funeral served as a reminder of how strongly the Monarchy remains a large part of how the citizens see themselves. Even those who don’t like it, consider themselves as subjects of the Queen, and now of King Charles.

[joshua c]

ditch the monarch and the house of lords

the house of lords is hereditary as well

[RummyChick]

Harry trying to rewrite his book with claims he is willing to pay for scrapped books. Perhaps Charles told he is finished if he bashes the monarchy. I did see an article the the titles for his kids depends on trust. The book will blow it apart

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

One of the things that struck me about the BBC coverage of Elizabeth’s funeral is the respect the presenters had for her and, by extension, for the Royal Family and the institution of the monarchy. The presenters, especially the wonderful Kirsty Young, openly expressed their patriotism and pride in their country. I thought that if one of our presidents died in office (it wouldn’t matter which one in about the last forty years), the funeral coverage would be politicized, there would be snide remarks from the presenters, and about half the people would be celebrating and lining up to p*ss on the grave.

A stable and likeable monarch (maybe Charles can grow into that, but I think it would be an easier task for William) and more responsible behavior on the part of the family members, can be a positive thing for a country such as the United Kingdom which, except for the time of Cromwell’s Commonwealth, has always had a monarchy. The available substitutes for monarchy are not necessarily an improvement, especially not a republic that is run by buffoons, criminals, and sociopaths.

[T.B. Yoits]

The Queen didn't pay income tax until 1993 and the crown claims it's "voluntary", not required by law.

Anyone surprised that grifters would have scandals?

[PerConPat]

I don't know; but I've been told the monarchy, as an institution, brings in big money for the UK.

[Romulus]

This is trash.

[chajin]

Would Charles’ promotion from prince to king be considered an up-chuck?

[Tennessee Nana]

Weve got one of those kings ...

he lives in the basement of my White House ...

[SmokingJoe]

I hope he remembers that Charles I was beheaded in 1649, the only British sovereign to be executed. Charles I was a tyrant who believed in “the divine right of kings,” meaning to oppose him was to oppose God

Sounds like Dementia Joe to me.
After all, Dementia Joe just compared all his political opponents and MAGA supporters to terrorists in that notorious, hate filled, Hitlerrite speech of his.

[SmokingJoe]

This is a brutal synopsis of Royal Family scandals of our neighbors across the big pond.

No scandals come even close to Dementia Joe and his family scandals.
Dementia Joe actually sexually abused his own daughter, then sent the FBI to go terrorize the people who found his daughter's dairy after she left it under a bed in some rehab joint.

[xp38]

If Chuck keeps his promise to keep his mouth shut about politics as he said he would once he became king and reins in his family the monarchy has a good chance to continue. I have my doubts but we shall see.

And then there's this...

New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern at the U.N.: ‘Disinformation’ Should Be Controlled Like Guns, Bombs, and Nukes

Meanwhile...

Prince William chooses Jacinda Ardern for a big event close to his heart

Check out the pic at that second link. And keep in mind what Ardern has done to NZ, a member of the Commonwealth.

And the House of Windsor is clearly cool with that.
