I’ll probably get used to it but for now I can’t hear the words ‘King Charles’ without picturing one of those cute little dogs with the big ears. Quite apt thinking about it actually.
Manty countries have an elected President who appoints a PM ( see France ) - it can be about protocols. A President needs to be greeted by/hold talks with a President - to offer your PM up is seen as a bit insulting I thinkWe have one of those don't see any point in changing anything.
He has a few to pick from there's Arthur and George in there somewhere as well but he's going with Charles the third.If he is King Charles - Charles is not a lucky name for UK monarchs - I recall reading some years ago that he would use Phillip as his monicker - however so long has passed its hard to see how that would work given how we have all known him as Charles all our ( and his ) lives
Well said Bill, republican, royalist, whatever, its not too much to ask to show a bit of respect at the passing of a dignified elderly lady is it.Wow, just got up and seen the news, it's a shock.
I have been a Republican most of my life, never believing in inherited titles and Royalty. But I feel a strange kind of sadness and sense of loss.
This Queen Elizabeth has been around all my life and I had great respect for her. I actually feel very sad (unexpectedly). She represented Mother England (to one who has long lived abroad) if that makes any sense as a thoroughly decent and kind figurehead.
She was a fantastic Queen. RIP.
Especially some of the ones we've had to offer up, thank God we have a Monarch to offer up to visiting heads of state.
