Thoughts and prayers to her family and to the people
I liked the Queen, although she was not MY monarch. She had a sober head set squarely on her shoulders. I have no faith at all, exactly zero, in king Chucky III to rule wisely, but again, not MY monarch, so I really have no dog in that fight.
He seems to have got his start in the vein of Henry VIII, killing off one wife so he could take another, and then he went downhill from there, getting all varieties of "woke", which no good sovereign can afford to do. You cannot take off on flights of fancy that will hurt the subjects and at the same time, be considered a good king.
So now, he and his "queen consort", which I consider to be more of a concubine than anything, a gold-digger trading ass for cash and power, will sit on the throne.
Let the good times roll.
