LONDON (AP) — Britain’s new monarch is named King Charles III — but that was not inevitable.

Charles Philip Arthur George could have chosen another royal name when he took the throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday. "

IIRC, legend has it that when Britain again has a King Arthur, that would signify either the end of Britain, or the end of the world. So be grateful for small favors.

#9  A bit of time will be needed to change my opinion of Chuck. His mother kept him on a short tether for decades, lets see if it stuck. Six month from now he will either be impressive or baying at the Climate Change Moon like the dingbat loon I thought he was.

Hopefully Wills has the influence to tone his dad down and keep the Ginger Idiot and his D-List Wife far from anything Royal/ She already smells spotlights again....

#7  Well done and truly a royal move on his part. I was surprised and impressed with his statement to the effect his new role would have him step back from his charitable work, or the environmental lunacy he has pursued. He may have more of herself than I credited him.

#6  I imagine Machiavelli would say that a King who is afraid to walk the streets of his own kingdom is no king at all.

True; though the Medici might have counter-arguments.

I am glad to see the handshake back. Imagine him out there doing that chicken wing every world leader was trying to make vogue...wait, just a year ago?

Chancy move, considering ANTI-FA, and Radical Islam overflowing in the London streets. Plus UK being the 7th out of 230 nations for highest C-19/22 infections.
