Agree with you Marc, it was a peaceful, lawful protest. They should not have been arrested, and that action will backfire on Charles, who is already unpopular, for exactly this kind of reason.

The man is a buffoon, and he may well destroy the Crown out of pure arrogance. He should have had the wisdom to pass it to William, for the sake of the institution, but his pride will not let him β€” he wants to wear the Golden Hat and 'rule'. Be careful what you wish for, eh Charlie boy?

I still can’t believe that woman was crowned Queen. I never thought it would happen. Diana is turning over in her grave. 😞

What do you think about William and Kate? I am far from a monarchist but they do seem much more sympathetic to me, at least from the little I know about them.

Away with the lot of them! We should have an elected Head of State. It's all PR, managed entertainment and distraction - we can't afford it anymore.

The country is broke, with massive strikes of nurses, doctors, teachers, railway workers etc and we are still giving this one family Β£ millions! Why?

Those royal layabouts certainly do seem to cost you British folks rather a lot of money, don't they?

Yes I agree, it is infuriating and heartbreakingβ€”though I daresay we have been going more in that direction with our political and upper bureaucratic classes being totally disconnected from the average person and totally enamored of their own privileges which they seem to think they deserve for some reason πŸ™„

I don't really want an elected HoS either, that's like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. πŸ”₯ Imagine if Boris Johnson or Tony Blair had been able to lord it over us from an even higher height?! ...FFS, I'd have to leave the country!

Perhaps we could have a national animal mascot. Let's pick a cat or a dog, and rotate the crown every 5 years. Could be fun. Certainly more affordable.

They would only be elected for a set term.

No politicians need apply.

Cornwall. I’m here in London now. Shocked at so many people embracing this hypocritical King. The ones who don’t mention his treatment of Diana and dislike for Camilla???? Are they unaware of his eugenic underpinnings and embrace of Schwab’s great reset, etc???

Deb B, How I wish I was there protesting yesterday.

Everyone should read Rebel Prince by Tom Bower. It is a biography of Charles which tells it like it really is.

What they did to Diana was digusting! The late Queen cut Camilla dead for years because of Charle's infidelity with her. He is quoted as saying that he was not going to be the only Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress.

AND he takes Β£20+ Million a year out of Cornwall as private tax-free income; one of the poorest regions in Europe. Dispicable!

I truly fear for people's stupidity and ignorance - but then, look at covid...

Yes, I agree, best of a (very bad) bunch.

But someone needs to pull Will aside and give him a slap around the face, and tell him to shut up about the 'poor me' stuff. He's headed down the wrong path with the tv programmes about mental health, where he's blubbering and carrying on. I'm not against the Royals doing charity stuff that is dear to them, but they need to be very careful about the emoting in public, and especially careful about coming across like you're saying "Poor little me, life as a Prince was just sooo hard!".

I think the Queen had great advisors around her, that had been around for many decades and understood that the Crown requires for it's authority a good dose of mystique. The younger ones don't appear to have anyone giving them sound advice.

Charles clearly doesn't have anyone sound that he listens to either. Recently he (seriously) informed the public that he's had his Rolls Royce converted to run on leftover wine from the estate, to help fight climate change. He thought that was a wise and relatable anecdote to deliver during a cost of living crisis. That's the kind of delusional disconnectedness that we'd expect from someone raised as he was, but where was the team of Palace people to say "NOPE! ...absolutely not! ...cut that. That segment is NOT going in the broadcast!" ...?

Yes they come across as very disconnected and very self centered. The poor me stuff is πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„ for me, maybe they think it makes them more human or relatable or something but I agree that they should just shut up about it and be grateful for their advantages.

Make a spoof "Reality" show "The WindSores" and juxtapose it with the KarTrashians (America's fleeting Royalty). These celebrated dysfunctional train wrecks of families make East Palestine look like a bicycle with a flat tire.

Charles released a video last week where he said there is an urgent need to move to "sustainability COMPLIANCE". He talked about new police forces going door to door. So I think there are two eras, Elizabeth and post-Elizabeth. All the pomp and ceremony is a dying nostalgic backward look at what was, but WEF One World U.N. Government is what awaits looking forward

Indeed. Charles is 100% on board with the globalist agenda, he could not be more keen to revive feudalism.

Charles is Insane. You can see it in his face and fingers. Gout, alcohol an over indulgent and toxic lifestyle.

That sounds like something our (S)elected Resident Biden would say, thinking he was being clever.

Prince William and Prince Harry are not legitimate heirs to the crown. They have different fathers and not Charles

Really? Do tell! Of course there were always stories about Harry, but William too?

I’ve heard that too. But as long as they are accepted as such, nothing is going to change.

Charles is also inbred - very very inbred. We who live in Appalachia know the signs and symptoms.

But, hey! Klaus and George both like Charles, and I betcha so do Greta and John Kerry.

You say inbred but we laugh because although we are Americans we have more English blood than the monarchy! πŸ˜†

What are those signs and symptoms of inbrededness? Genuinely asking

Retaining phenotypes ( and genotypes ) of genetic diseases.

That is why the try to marry off the island (out of country) once in a while to decrease the " inbred traits ".

Mostly mental illness, sometimes cross-eyed or inability to breed.
