He looked like a sad old man...
...playing dress up. Royalty doesn't have to do much in England, but Charles is the Joe Biden of Windsors.
shareNo "playing dress up".
He IS King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms. His official Coronation was today. A grand event!
Who are you?
Jealous much?
He looked depressed and as though the clothes didn't really suit him. He is the King of England and the Commonwealth because he inherited it. I used to think it was nice that he took an interest in gardening. Not enough of an interest, unfortunately, to pay attention to the cycles in the weather. So if you tell someone who doesn't know much that there really is an impending Ice Age, and switch from that to Global Warming, and switch from that to Climate Change, and just like in Barney Miller each and every one is an "existential threat," the the poor, sad fellow is going to believe it. Now you've got a King that was mobbed up with the WEF sitting on the throne instead of the irreplaceable Queen Elizabeth II. And yes, a Coronation -- particularly of the oldest monarch ever crowned -- is an historic event. But this sad, old man doesn't seem up to the task.
Lovely to see his bit on the side finally elevated to Queen. Nothing trailer trash about that at all. 🙄
You are "trailer trash".
What does "Climate Change" have to do with the Coronation of the King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms?
Jealous little man.
I'm laughing about what you posted about Queen Camilla. In case you don't know- she is is Queen of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms as the wife of King Charles III.
Who are you?
Camilla IS his "bit on the side," which is trashy, not something to brag about. Remember how he'd told Camilla he wanted to be her underwear or her tampon, or something that would make a person heave, in his attempt at a love letter?
And the Climate Change thing comes into play because that's the hook the WEF has in him. I suppose you like Klaus, the sinister Teutonic megalomaniac hiding in plain sight as a sinister Teutonic megalomaniac? Most of the rest of us von't eat ze bugs.
Who's the jealous little man? "Destinata" -- the a on the end is feminine. Biological female, here.
But, no, I wouldn't be jealous of those pair. I think most of the Brits and the Commonwealth would like to see Wills on the throne. Rumor was, years ago, that Charles would simply step back and let Wills have it, that it would pass from Queen Elizabeth II -- beloved by almost all -- to his son, and Charles would just garden and live at taxpayer expense.
Who am I? I'm nobody, which trumps a bootlick like yourself.
So, Destinata, you'd like to be William's "bit on the side", eh? What's your problem, anyway? Having a spew about a man you don't know personally, and spewing to other people you don't know personally?
For all his shortcomings, Charles is a better person than you, any day of the week.

Oh the irony...
I'm baffled as to your loyalty to someone *YOU* don't know either?
So, you need to be personally acquainted with someone famous, before you'll make civil comments about them??
Obviously your target is a better person than you, since he's not known for that crap behaviour. You are.
You're not acquainted with seagal72 or myself, and you're hardly civil. Borrow a ladder and climb down from your high horse.
shareI'm very civil. But I give as good as I get.
shareWhat's your dog in this fight, then? Because YOU'RE getting nothing. Do you think Charles is his mother's equal? I doubt there's a person in America that thinks that, once they see her in her WWII uniform and learn she was a driver/mechanic during the War.
shareIntersting that you call this a "fight". You're the OP who claimed that King Charles III was merely "playing dress-up". Did you think that wouldn't provoke a defence from people who respect the Royal institution, and know how to express it?
And to answer your question; no, I don't think Charles is the equal of his mother. We could hardly expect to have two Monarchs of her quality in one century.
Where do you get that I'd want to be the "bit on the side" for any of them.
Good grief, talking to some of you is like talking to the Meghan devotees -- "You're just jealous!" "You wish you were her!" "You're just a racist!"
There are some legitimate reasons to be concerned about or to even criticize the royals. Being mobbed up with the WEF is deeply concerning. If, like his mother, he keeps completely out of politics and does not comment yay or nay, it shouldn't matter. But he's been somewhat outspoken in the past.
Thank you, however, for admitting the man does have shortcomings. We can agree on that. I guess we disagree about whether someone can comment on what they've been begged to set their alarm for so they can wake up early and catch all the pomp and pageantry of blah, blah, blah. Whether you want to admit it or not, there's a lot of spectator sport to this.
Well, you're obviously for getting rid of King Charles and replacing him with "Wills", as soon as possible. It's certainly a spectator sport for you, isn't it. Getting to perve at young men in uniforms, and scorn old men in robes.
Everyone has shortcomings. Even me. But the genuinely regal are able to overcome them in situations like getting crowned in front of billions of cynical people.
Oh! You think Charles is nothing short of miraculous because he didn't mess up with the ceremony. He's had to meet heads of state, sit down to multi-course meals with them, and use the proper utensils while always saying the "right" thing. That's far trickier than going through the motions at a coronation.
You have a lovely day. Every day wake up knowing that Charles is on his throne and THEREFORE all is right with Great Britain and the Commonwealth.
Bitter, eh? Never mind, you'll get over it.
Now, among all the nonsense you've written in this thread, the only thing I've really taken offence to is the post where you compared me to a "Meghan devotee". To quote Vito, "That I do not forgive."
"Who's the jealous little man? "Destinata" -- the a on the end is feminine. Biological female, here."
Ah, so that explains your strange animus towards Queen Camilla.
"But, no, I wouldn't be jealous of those pair."
You are jealous. Common too.
And you are of the sort all too common on social media who screech, "Jealous!" when anyone criticizes your precious. Mrs. Biden walks out embarrassing all of America in those horrible dresses that look like they've been cut from shower curtains, and her claque scream, "Jealous!" as if anyone with a sewing machine and some ugly cloth couldn't look just as bad. Or if all the people who criticize Trump for any reason are told they're jealous of his hair, as if anyone could be.
Well, think whatever you have to in order to feel superior. 🙄
"in those horrible dresses that look like they've been cut from shower curtains, and her claque scream, "Jealous!" as if anyone with a sewing machine and some ugly cloth couldn't look just as bad."
Hahaha, Destinata, you're being a typical woman!!
