King Charles III

Cam will sort it, top banana.

If you are so biter why not step it up. Just think, you could have a day out in London, chain yourself to Buckingham Palace's railings wearing a few obscenities in marker pen on a white tee shirt, get a couple of seconds on the BBC news. That would work. But, no, you sit behind the anonymity of a football message board being the big man. Pathetic.

Since you keep picking up on spelling, what is a biter?

I think people's perceptions of why the world is so ****ed up is predominantly determined by the news media we digest, be that the Mail, the Mirror or all of those lovely Facebook pages and extreme news outlets that people like to be indoctrinated by.

Media have always been that way, it is social media that gives idiots a platform

True, but you would expect the BBC to remain impartial

I would have thought you would have been in seventh-heaven with the BBC's wall-to-wall coverage of everything to do with the monarchy.

The Beeb is clearly terrified of not pleasing the Tories and their supporting organs - Mail / Torygraph /Sun / Murdoch

Well you would be wrong. I'm finding the whole thing now very tedious and over repeated

I'm not really a royalist but I know dedication when I see it.

Agree with all of that grist. Makes a nice change.

Harmony rules at the start of King Charles' reign! Long live the ...no, I can't say it.

"God save the Queen" ticks every single wrong box for me, but there's an undeniable poignancy to the Queen dying. You'd have to be an alien not to feel this. I guess it's the longevity of her reign and the quiet unassuming way she earned respect, even from die hard republicans. The woman was unique there's no denying it... and therein lies the problem. Charles is clearly going to be very different. For starters, you could never imagine the Queen making such a public display of annoyance with her staff. Charles will be much more outspoken and will be unable to keep his mouth shut. He's never been shy to bang on about climate change for example. This won't go down well with the current government. It will be interesting to see how things pan out.

Royalists will suck it up - warts and all - whoever inherits the throne, but when all the dust has settled, there will be a lot more people questioning the value and relevance of the monarchy. Troubled times ahead for HRH I think.
